Why don't you guys try c4component. the have clear cases & they have a double slim that is IMO better than the amaray.

I'm not familiar with these "double slims" you mention. Please explain what they are like.

Every website is out of stock / back-ordered on the only thing I need: slim-double amaray cases and a clear single amaray case.

None of them say when they'll get more in stock, but they do say that those items are typically out of stock. - then why doesn't the manufacturer make more - each week there are more people that need this stuff, but they never bump up production to match demand.

Are people using the 2-disc cases for the VCDs they're burning?

I may make one, but not until September when the actual disc comes out, so I can use elements from it. If you want one sooner, I can send scans of the original VHS artwork and you or somebody else can assemble one. I'm busy creating other covers at the moment.

Thanks Disc-Flipper!

Being that I'm pretty lousy at assembling covers of my own, I'll hold out till you have the time, or maybe someone else can take you up on your offer and post one before then. :)

Disc-Flipper, I use the "slim doubles" for most of the vcds i burn with my Terapin recorder, but i use the white AlphaPAK versions from inetdvd for my vcds and the black cases from c4 for my DVDs. I store my vcds in white cases and my DVDs in black cases.

slop101, A "slim double" is a case the size of a single amaray/alpha that holds 2 disc instead of 1 and really help save space for all of the 2-Disc SE that are being released (ID4, Snow White, Dogma, etc.)

Yes, slim-double amaray cases, like the ones used for Gladiator - that's what I was talking about - everyone's sold out of those. Are you talking about the same thing?

Oh, and the cases they have at C4 are the ones that hold discs on both sides - there's no room for a booklet. I need the ones that have a "page" flap in the middle for one of the discs.

JJE-187 07-11-02 03:32 AM

slop, Actually the ones at c4 *DO* hold a bokelet it just goes on top of the disc stored on the left side. and if you have the 2-disc T2 the booklet will fit and let the case close securely. I personally don't like the double amaray's because of the stupid "flap" (it breaks to easily), but that is just my opinion.

I wanna a (German) replacement cover for Predator SE! :)

memento SE Cover
 
Hi,

This was my first attempt at a custom cover (well my first real attempt at something original). I havent seen a good memento SE cover, so I decided to make one. Here is a image of the cover. Any suggestions on what to add/subtract would be appreciated, I will post the final when finished at http://www.mattbrown.com/covers.

oh, and before im asked - Ill probably have 300 and 600 dpi versions available.

phraseturner 07-14-02 07:40 PM

i could really use a Vista Series cover for Sixth Sense. it's too shiny to scan and i ebayed my original release of the film before i could scan its cover...so i have no elements to start off with.

has anyone cranked one our for themselves already that they can share?

JJE-187 07-14-02 11:00 PM

Phrase, I asked Mr.Moody to work on one but i'm not sure he's had time to begin working on it yet.

Mountain Biker 07-15-02 12:07 AM

Great cover Mattcsus! :thumbsup: Hope to see it at DVD Coverart when it's complete.

Don't want to let this thread get lost.

Anybody have any full cover scans of "The Outsiders" and "Chariots of Fire"? Have looked at numerous sites but can't find anything.

Thanks!

I'm reminded of my efforts to design a keepcase-sized cover for Rock & Roll High School for its first release, the Lumivision version, which came in a jewel case. Practically the moment it was up at Mr. Moody's, New Concorde announced a full-on SE in a keepcase with the original art. I picked it up gladly, but kinda wished I had just waited and let things work themselves out.

Now that we're hearing Coppola's working on Outsiders:Redux (the man needs to stop hanging out with Lucas, methinks), you can expect a proper packaging of an SE in the near future.

Of course, if all you want is a cover for the theatrical release, best of luck.

Back on my meds,

CS

Is anybody real good at resizing?
 
I need to resize a small 72 dpi to a cover-size image. Anybody really good at this--I already tried w/ photoshop and it didn't come out well.

thnx

jament 07-26-02 12:17 PM

I need a replacement cover for Once Upon a Time in China. If anyone knows where I can get one or can scan one for me, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

It wont work unless the dpi number is higher. You might try asking the board for a better picture.

NotEd 07-26-02 02:25 PM

Well this is my first time request. Is anyone interested in the making the following or do they already exist somewhere? My Photoshop skills are somewhere south of nil or I'd try to make them myself.

Covers for:
-Real Genius
-Top Secret!

Insert cards for MGM budget titles, like UHF


Also does anyone have the inserts for The One and Ghost World? I bought them as PVDs from Blockbuster and they didn't have any copies with inserts.

solid7x2 07-29-02 12:48 PM

Boiler room
 
does anyone have the boiler room cover art?

There is a custom cover for Real Genius at dvdcoverart.com

JJE-187 07-29-02 02:30 PM
