Bottleneck Gallery has been working on a very special project – a new line of officially licensed 3D lenticular movie posters! As BNG explained, “movie studios would issue 3D (lenticular) movie posters for certain films. However, due to the high cost of these lenticular movie posters and posters in general, studios shifted to digital posters, and unfortunately lenticular posters fell by the wayside. We’ve always been fans of more unique and experimental movie posters, and we truly believe that lenticular posters shake up the status quo of the standard movie poster, and contain a wealth of creativity.”
There are two styles of 3D Lenticular Movie Posters being produced by Bottleneck Gallery: a thinner (1mm), flexible PET lenticular print mounted on dense paper backing. This option is more flexible, lighter, and thinner. Then there’s a thick lenticular print (4mm), akin to plexi-glass, called polystyrene. BNG calls this one Lenticular Plex for ease of differentiation. This option looks and feels like a sheet of plexiglass but with a lenticular lens. As with all lenticular prints, they are best viewed from about 4 to 6 feet away from the subject. This allows the lens to do what it does best and gives the best 3D effect.
The first Bottleneck Gallery lenticular release is for the sci-fi cornerstone, 2001: A Space Odyssey. A movie that groundbreaking deserves an equally groundbreaking poster! The 2001: A Space Odyssey is a 24”x36” hand numbered 3D Lenticular Print. The Standard Edition is limited to 300 pieces and will retail for $100, while the Lenticular Plex Edition is limited to 200 pieces and will retail for $200. Both versions feature a BNG hologram of authenticity on the back. These two prints will go on sale at 12pm EDT today, Friday, June 12th, at BottleneckGallery.com.
