Fake MoC Covers
I just came across a mock cover I made a while back for Il Caso Mattei and thought I'd share it. I'm not the greatest designer and this was a quick affair in MS Paint so...

Agreed on both counts, well almost on the second count, perhaps an area for home made covers? Moderators?a.khan wrote:Sir, you don't give yourself enough credit -- that's a fantastic cover. Nice job!
I guess, about time we have a Fake MoC Cover thread.
I guess there are quite a few of us here who buy grey DVDs without covers and it would be good to have a resource for people who don't have the time or skills to do their own. I do all mine on Powerpoint so I doubt I could post them as single docs like these but perhaps in a separate area which would take attachments? (the other advantage of that is that people could then take them and modify them to suit themselves). I like doing it so much that I sometimes do my own covers for legitimate releases, Redemption DVDs in particular, and I am reckoning on the same for the French Von Sternbergs I have just ordered. In my case, sod MoC (in the nicest possible way), i have my very own DVD label, albeit very much in the MoC/Kino format.
Recent additions to my "label" are a series of Fritz Lang In America, Murnau's Die Gang In Die Nacht, Haunted Castle, and Die Brennende Acker, and Ozep's Living Corpse.

I made it in my lunch break I was just experimenting and when I was finished I thought it looked ok. I too am a little unsure on it now.Felix wrote:...well almost on the second count...
I'm with you on this one, I find it annoying that when I follow a strand, say started by a legitimate release and then I want to pursue that directors work further (recently Imamura and Oshima) I can't so I have to resort to bootlegs, and why not house them in nice covers? That said I haven't gotten round to designing any (expect housing my BoYing Kurosawa's in mock BFI cases). I must say however that I always replace bootlegs with official releases when they become available.Felix wrote:i have my very own DVD label

Well, I would quite happily but I don't know how to. Because they are comprised of multiple items on each cover I don't think I could copy and paste but if anyone has any ideas...NABOB OF NOWHERE wrote: Don't be bashful Felix. Get your Murnaus out fer the boys!
No,no, when I said on the second count I meant on the fake MoC covers, not on the quality of your cover which I think is very high, ditto Badering's one. These are far more professional and polished than mine.FSimeoni wrote:I made it in my lunch break I was just experimenting and when I was finished I thought it looked ok.

The point about the ones I do is that I think anyone could do the same very easily. I am using basic Office tools, nothing fancy, and finding original posters from online, film reviews or articles ditto, and screenshots from online or my own DVD.
I would like to say I replace every boot with legit releases and I do if I have enjoyed them (any of the ones I mentioned would be automatic) but some just haven't hit the mark for me. But I do think that providing one's intentions are honourable and one is buying an honourable quantity of legit releases as well, and I am very often buying 20 per month, then it is justifiable to buy a few where they are not otherwise available. Hello. Napoleon... It is a bit like second hand DVDs (I think) But we have hauled this one over the coals so many times...
I have replaced boots with legit releases and kept my boot covers for them though, and all my Redemption ones are legit.

Ah, gimme a break. It was my first cover made up of something that isn't someone else's poster, made in my lunch break. I will revisit this cover soon, tell me what you think of it then.HerrSchreck wrote:So the restroom for insects is on the left, and the one for women is on the right.
Is this a space station comfort area? Or merely the sign taken from the rest trailer for the extras on the set of Deliverance?
