The Ringmaster v.2 - EMP 2011

”Admission: Your Souls.”

…last but not least, my fifth and final entry for the 2011 Epic Movie Poster Contest by Screeners This poster is designed for the fake movie treatment, ”The Ringmaster” created by Stewart Goldstein.

This is part two of my series for the film. I decided to just go all out on the stock pictures. It was just a fun, crazy idea. The first one was my idea of how the poster would look with a close up of the circus tent with just The Ringmaster’s hat as somewhat of a teaser. This is a version that shows the whole circus area engulfed by flames. My thoughts are that the Ringmaster may start off as more of an entity and then as he kills more victims, he has more of a physical appearance. I tried to portray that through these two posters. In the first, he starts off as a shadow. In this one, as the smoke rises to the sky, his figure starts to become more visible.

Just as the first, I used the font from Lemony Snickett’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events for the tagline and the font from The Nightmare Before Christmas for my title.

Sad to say, I have no more entries for the contest Can't wait til next year.
