Lord_La_forge Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Okay guys, now I could really use your experience. I'm writing an essay with the theme "The visual representation in sci-fi movies" for a comprehensive exam in my Uni.As I do need massive amount of images for this one as illustration, I really could need some help finding the right ones on the net.My problem is, that it needs to be printed, so I need them in high quality and/or in large size. Yes I try to use google image search all the time, but I though maybe you guys know some good sources.Not only SW, any other scifi is good. I do want to write about major sci-fi movies though (Solaris, Fahrenheit 451, SW, ST, 2001, 2010, Alien, maybe Stalker, Blade Runner and so on)I also want to write about specific themes like: costumes, SFX, interiors and exteriors, gadget design... I need a lot of nice pictures! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budious Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Not entirely sure where to deposit this, but I just stumbled across some very large data bases from the original three movies. The images are vast, and in png format, but thus great to play with.. http://tiedostot.pilvikaupunki.net/ROTJ1080i/ http://tiedostot.pilvikaupunki.net/TESB1080i/ http://tiedostot.pilvikaupunki.net/ANH1080p/ From page 43 of the "Got Art..." thread. Some large Star Wars captures to start with. Make you discuss LEXX, the most badass superweapon and sci-fi series ever conceived!

Eagle Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I could scan some pics of several sci-fi-movies from a book. Would that be helpful for you? Who cares at all?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_La_forge Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Thanks Jahled that's just what I've benn searching for!I also could need anything from other movies. Yes, scans could help me out too, if they are in good quality. What do you have? I desperate to find some classic sci-fi pictures (from the 50's, 60's and 70's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 There should be lot´s of pictures of these eras in that book. It´s large.

I was suprised that there aren't really any good pictures of great classics like 2001. I know it's old, but why aren't there any pictures? I mean that movie is a hugw step in scifi history.

Eagle Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) Yes, indeed. But sometimes it´s better to search for special websites than just for pics. There you often find lots of material. How can I send you these pics? Please send me your email-adress by pm. I will send you the pics than in the next couple of days. Edited April 19, 2007 by Eagle Who cares at all?!

Lord_La_forge Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Not sure if it was posted, anyway worth for repost: http://www.spookybug.com/origins/2001.html SW origins discussed.

Krytos Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Unfortunately, I don't really know of any source of high res images for Sci-fi.
