"The Oldest View" - Movie Poster (Mockup)

"The Oldest View" - Movie Poster (Mockup)

Art collage /movie poster mockup done in GIMP with screenshots from "The Oldest View" by Kane Pixels (on youtube). The shape of the Giant was made with a png from Henry_The_Biggest351 on reddit.

I actually made multiple versions of this poster, but I like this one the best I think. Previews of the other three are below the cut. Perhaps I'll post the full-sized version one day in the future as well.

"Frutiger Aero Inspired" (Aesthetic/Moodboard)

[sources: x / x / x / x / x ]

Aesthetic/moodboard made in GIMP with free stock images from unsplash. I tried to capture the general aesthetic of 'Frutiger Aero'.

Further thoughts below the cut:

I am pretty sure I didn't manage to be 100% accurate to the Frutiger Aero aesthetic, but I think its passable for a first attempt. I just tried to capture the 'vibe', the general imagery and colors associated with it.

(Sidenote: pexels.com makes it a lot easier to find photos again, whereas with unsplash, it took more effort. I recommend getting an account and making picture collections to easily find the photos again.)

"Out Of Place"

Two digital collages made in GIMP with screenshots from "The Oldest View" by Kane Pixels on Youtube, which includes use of the Julien Reverchon Giant made by Kevin Obregon.

Additional thoughts below the cut:

These are the variations of the movie poster practice pics I posted earlier. This style takes a bit of inspiration from surrealist artist René Magritte actually, what with taking a human(oid) silhouette and replacing the inside of it. These also serve as mirror images to each other with how I replaced Wyatt and the Giant, in a way showing how they are both 'out of place' in different points in the story.

These were really the 'prototypes' for the movie poster(s) I then did. It was a nice challenge to try and find pictures that would not just be great mirrors for each other, but also had distinct silhouettes *and* fit into each other.

"You Do Not Belong Here"

Two digital color alterations made in GIMP of screenshots from "The Oldest View" by Kane Pixels on Youtube, which includes the Julien Reverchon Giant artpiece made by Kevin Obregon.

Additional thoughts below the cut:

Similar in style to the movie poster mockup I did, these ones actually came first and were the practice works for the final poster(s). I have a collage variation of these two in particular that I might eventually post as well.

They work well to emulate a style that the video series itself uses, that is, showing monochromatic humans in a green-ish, natural (forest) environment. So I simply used a similar concept for both Wyatt and the Giant, but added a contour around them to further make them stand out.

I really enjoyed making these, they were among the first things I made when I got back into GIMP.

"Incomplete Memories"

A digital collage made in GIMP with a stock image from Pexels.com and a picture of George Brehm's "Woman's Home Companion- September 1916" illustration (public domain in the US). Based on 'The Backrooms' series by Kane Pixels, esp on the character of Ivan Beck.

Additional thoughts below the cut:

Another piece inspired by Ivan Beck and The Backrooms. This one is kind of still a WIP, as I am not fully happy with it, but I wanted to post this stage nontheless.

The George Brehm painting appears in Found Footage 2 and is speculated to relate to Ivan Beck in some way. It fit *incredibly* well into the stock image, and even adding some light effects and shadows worked out very well imo.

Might be I will return to this piece in the future. We'll see.

"The Cheering Giant"

PNG digital collage of the Rolling Giant, but with pompoms instead of flower hands. Made in GIMP with a screenshot from The Oldest View Part 3 - The Rolling Giant from Kane Pixels (which includes use of the Julien Reverchon Giant made by Kevin Obregon) and a stock image from unsplash.

Additional thoughts under the cut:

This came to exist because there is no cheerleding emoji and because I wanted to cheer on someone who is making TOV related media, hence, this little png was created. Not exactly this iteration, but one similar to this, was the first thing I tried to create when I got back into GIMP all those weeks ago. It was a good starting point to get back into the program (and hilarious to make).

I decided to make a smaller sized one for convenience as well, seeing as the first one is bit big for, say, discord or the likes.
