Some photos of my Astro screenshot collection
Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2009 12:57 pm
Hi all.
I finally concluded my work on the 2003 Astro screenshot compilation. I felt like sharing some pictures.
The first 5 photos show some samples of 8 ring binders containing screenshots from the 1980's series, which I finished compiling 2 1/2 years ago.
A close-up of the ring binders' labels (2 different layouts):
That's how I layed out the episode register. Like that, it's easy to navigate through the screenshots.
Some samples of what it looks like when the ring binders were opened:
Now these are photos from the 2003 series Astro screenshots compilation. I pasted the final frame just yesterday.
Again, a close-up of the labels (2 different layouts here as well):
The register (I had to open the cover for taking the photograph as the sheets are a little smaller in size than the ones I used for the 80's series):
Also here, some samples of the ring binder's interior:
I started off taking the 2003 Astro screenshots in middle of July last year, so the whole project took about 3/4 of a year to conclude. I guess the work on the 1980's compilation did take just as long.
For the print-outs I used a Canon Pixma MP500 inkjet printer, and the screenshots themselves were printed on glossy inkjet sheets. For cutting out I used a DIN A4 slitter winder. I was glad of having some music for distraction while I was occupied with pasting the screenshots in, the work ended up to be pretty static.
Now I don't have to use the TV or the PC monitor anymore for viewing some Astro portraits; meaning a less expensive electricity bill.
While I've been at it, I also took some photos of the official soundtrack release of the 80's series:
Front sleeve:
Back sleeve:
Inner sleeve:
The back side of the lyrics sheet:
The lyrics itself with a few characters' presentations ('duh!):
A little poster:
...and the CD:
Anyway, I hope I was able to deliver some eye candies.
