Great work Ive seen a few companies like glowbox sell these prebuilt starting at $300 and up. I collect movie posters and the standard movie theater is 27x40 double sided posters but Im curious if single sided posters look as good.

No one is nerd you are great keep up the good work

Single sided does not look hood at all, i builded my own lighted poster for my theater and used double sided posters, i tried single sided and did not look very good

Hey Alexa that seems like a good idea actually..BTW is there any way to make this poster light although the day without any issue like avoiding the LEDs getting burnt for quite a long period of time(Weeks,Months or Years)? or will I have to use different bulbs if iam to power it from a plug socket Appreciate your help

@@imgroot5845 After discussing your question with my grandpa (an avid DIY'r & master photographer), if I understand it correctly, adding the fans I've described + adding slots to the back, or even better a "soft-fiber window screen, not metal, to the entire back rather than closing it in would offer large amounts of air flow. Also, if you intend to run this all throughout the day, place your display frame where there is a constant flow of cool air to help the fans. . Another tip would be to purchase the slightly most costly CRI95+ rated LED strips. Don't cheap out! Another tidbit, look for the "KITS" that allow you to adjust the colors AND the power levels. . Ours have wireless remotes that allow all adjustments, even flashing and the speed of the flash. Power can be set at OFF, 25%, 50%, and 100%. . Lining the edges of the frame with regular kitchen foil, gluing it down with a rubber cement or "vinyl tile" type of glue then placing the LED strips on top of the foil will provide an added layer of cooling as aluminum cools rapidly. Be sure no solder or wires touch the foil. An easy fix with a hot glue gun to insulate them. . And yet another tip would be to add small, 1/4 to 3/8" high/thick, round rubber (or felt), stick-on feet/pads to the back of the four corners of your frame. This will prevent your frame from sitting flush against the wall, will allow the fans to draw in cool air from outside of the frame and offer greater air flow. . As a standard the "top" operational longevity of CRI95+ LED strips/LEDs, are rated at 50,000 (or about 5.5 years), hours before burning out. . Hope this helps get you and running with your poster holder. . ~Alexa Shaw, Just A Simple Photographer

@@ThisIsSaipanCNMI I should definitely take down this on note...Thanks Alexa for taking your time to share this info,and also to your grandfather...Never did I expect someone to help me by this much

@@imgroot5845 You’re quite welcome. We (my colleagues and I), love to share our knowledge and experience with others. We access my grandpa’s world-travels and vast knowledge to enrich our lives and photography business. He’s the one that showed me how to “PAY IT FORWARD.” So, I do. . He’s been my best friend and mentor for a very long time. To speak with him, you’d never know he’s a US Army Cold War Combat Vet, having served 9 years all over the US/world. He’s funny, has a goatee, really long white hair, tats, and even makes strangers laugh. I’ve had some of the “teens” and “kids” here tell me “he’s really cool,” or “MAN! I wish your grandpa was my dad/grandpa.” Those comments always tug at my heart and let me know just how fortunate I am. . I’m constantly hearing about others that couldn’t cope, or had issues readjusting to peace after their service. He values life and loves to share DIY ideas, tips, and some tricks, to save others money and help them create something that eventually becomes their own. . It’s how I was taught and one of the reasons we created our self-taught photographers’ groups on the social media site - mewe.com. He fabricates, designs and creates almost all of our large photo gear and accessories. Honestly, I still don’t know where he gets some of his ideas from. . If you get stuck, or would like some help on this, or other DIY projects, or perhaps photography, just drop me a note, someone here will get it to me. I’ll let grandpa know you liked his input and information. . Thanks again for your appreciation. . ~Alexa Shaw, Just A Simple Photographer

He wins Helper of the Day every day in my shop. :)

Same here!!

That's what you get from watching Marc. It's your own fault.

This is very true, and the reason I have a torsion box assembly table that weighs about as much as my car 😂

Glad it was helpful!

Is there any way to make this poster light although the day without any issue like avoiding the LEDs getting burnt for quite a long period of time?

“But by keeping the camera far enough away at just the right angle, you’ll never know.” HA!

It's a double sided poster..... 27 x 40 DS

They're printed on plastic, not really double sided, more like the other side is like a mirror of the front, so it lights clearly.

If you use Instagram, I have a story highlight in my profile that shows the theater.

You are supposed to use doublesided movie posters, you can find just about any on Ebay for good prices

I second this question

same question!!! What kind of poster or glass print is needed?? Thanks!

The reason double sided posters are preferred, is because it stops light bleed in the poster. The things that are supposed to be dark are dark and things that are lighter are lighter. If you use a single sided poster, it will be washed out. Hope that helps.

Single sided will look faded or washed out.

Seriously, I would like to know....

If you follow me on Instagram, my profile has a save Story showing the renovation work and the final result.

It's not attached. It's just placed between the layers of plexi.

Jeremy Ferguson it’s the beat way to glue things!
