Member makone Posted September 6, 2012 Member Share Posted September 6, 2012 I love it, i would rather see covers like that, than the usual crap companys put out. maybe one day the powers that be, will ask someone like yourself how to go about releasing a quality dvd. keep up the good work.

Member Son Of A Gun Posted September 6, 2012 Author Member Share Posted September 6, 2012 It is my first cover and a tad rushed. I think I can do better next time...but thank you. I'm glad. It is more like the covers I like to own. Oldschool artwork. Although this one was a bit more brightly coloured than I would have liked. Would have preferred a white back ground. But I couldn't be bothered to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted September 6, 2012 Member Share Posted September 6, 2012 That's a kickass cover, dude... love the retro style. Hate about EVERY new cover from the pro labels.... no soul, no reverence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted September 6, 2012 Author Member Share Posted September 6, 2012 Why thank you, Mr Crane. I am a big fan of original artwork of the era too. Some new generation covers are pretty cool, such as A Chinese Ghost Story (certain releases) and some other titles from IVL/Joy sales like Once Upon a Time in China boxset...... but the majority suck yeah.

Member Son Of A Gun Posted September 7, 2012 Author Member Share Posted September 7, 2012 That was an option too, yes. But not my fave. I may make one with this art too. But Jackie's face looks like he's had a stroke. And I prefer original chinese artwork (most of the time) But yeah, just yesterday I was thinking of turning this art into a optional cover. Was gonna use the image from the VHS cover though, because it's flipped and looks more correct. I don't know for sure which way 'round the correct way is for this art, but Jackie looks more like Jackie when it's flipped, like on the VPD cover. I'd use the the title text style from this poster though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted September 7, 2012 Author Member Share Posted September 7, 2012 P.S - I just put a revised version of the cover in the my first post. It would seem I made 3 very silly spelling mistakes before. corrected now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I prefer original chinese artwork (most of the time) I'm the opposite, I prefer the export artwork (Chinese poster art is too cartoonish for my taste, makes them look like children's films).

Well that punctuation error is staying. and about chinese artwork...... You what?! Leave my house this instant! I love the caricatures. They are comedies after all. But without getting too deep about it. If it's the style of poster art that was out when the films were released, then that's why I like it, I guess. I dig the era and the look of the era. But if a drama film had that caricature style art, then I'd probably not be so keen on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted September 8, 2012 Member Share Posted September 8, 2012 I think the cover is great. The forum should have a sticky post for custom DVD covers. You can download lots at Shaolin Chamber 36 site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted September 8, 2012 Author Member Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thanks Dave. And if you mean the Golden Swallow covers..... already downloaded them. I actually like the more basic look of those covers. I don't want to make my covers too modern looking. I kinda like the bootleg cover look. Back in my day and probably your day too,...we had Laserdisc covers photocopied and cut to fit a VHS box. I like that look. Keepin' it basic.

Member Jay Stone Posted October 6, 2012 Member Share Posted October 6, 2012 So where can one find this custom DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Son Of A Gun Posted October 6, 2012 Author Member Share Posted October 6, 2012 http://asiandvdclub.org/details.php?id=53128 You'll have to register. P.S - I just realised. I didn't list the bonus features on the back cover. What a dumbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
