:-) 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. :D

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. :D


While I've been at it, I also took some photos of the official soundtrack release of the 80's series:

Inner sleeve:

The back side of the lyrics sheet:

The lyrics itself with a few characters' presentations ('duh!):

A little poster:

...and the CD:

:lol: Anyway, I hope I was able to deliver some eye candies.

It makes me think about books I saw, telling the story of a movie by pictures from the movie with texts. But I guess they don't have as much images as yours :D

Thanks for sharing, Strange Wings! I like a lot of that stuff but especially the Inner sleeve (I can't take my eyes off little Atlas' feet however haha). I almost feel the need for a color printer now, lol!

You would deserve a 2003 DVD set without the clock... but then you'd have to do all that work again! :p

:eek: Aarghh; help! *runs & hides*
:lol: I got used to the clock, so it doesn't bother me that much anymore.


Thanks for the nice comments, people. :D

Hey Guys. What's up? I see a lot of the long time posters are still here.
You're devoted Strange Wings. Great work.

Good to see you still around Astro Forever.
