I used to work in a video store and a movie theater, and I loved the standees, would always try to be the one to put them together (and there were some crazy, elaborate ones). Love the color and art, and am so glad to see them in the lobby.
I also still have a collection of old ticket stubs, so that’s another neat part of the Plex too…
…and part of the fun, looking forward to the shows of course, but also to seeing what the art looks like for the next round of experiments.
So use this thread to sing the praises of Standees and Tickets.
The character art for this round was by Gary Glover, initial design by Mike Norton, and then design and production for Gizmoplex was me, with feedback from Matt, Joel and Lesley. So… Pretty much the exact process and people we used for the show!
It’s a good question! We’re open to it, I think, but it’s a question of our legal rights relative to each movie and title, since in a lot of cases, we may not have the required merch or licensing rights to profit off a movie’s logo, actor’s likeness, etc.
Can there be some plans made to have a gallery or showcase to visit those standees in the Gizmoplex? It would be a shame for them to disappear permanently as they rotate out for new events.
The new standees are, indeed, Mike Norton! And the papermation is neither Gary nor Mike, but another artist Joel worked with before the Kickstarter launched.
