What movie posters would you like in your theater??

This was a great tutorial. My husband and I watched it (several times) and made a few of our own last night! Thanks so much!!

Wish this had came out two weeks earlier. I just spent $700 on media posters for the movie room. Now it’s time to redo all of the like this. Great info. Thanks for sharing.

A canvas stretcher tool would help with wrinkles and fit. Just look in the art department by the premade canvasses. I think they run about $10, maybe cheaper

Great video. I'll be taking on this project. I'll be sure to give you a shoutout once I get it all done. :)

Awesome video with such great details. We finished 4 posters today. Ended up spending more money than $60 per poster as the lumber cost has gone way up this year. Myfabricdesign messed up our order and took forever to deliver. All-in-all very pleased with the outcome. Thanks so much!!

Super dope panels! Your room is coming along quite nicely Kyle. The 24's look beastly too!

Bravo! Very cool project! I hope do use this technique for my home theater in the future. One tip for any beginners to woodworking is to assemble the frames with the holes for the pocket screws on the outside of the box, rather than the inside (as is shown at 6:00 in this video). The reason is to allow those pocket screws more material to bite into. For this project it does not make much difference, but if one was building a bookshelf or cabinet, the screws might tear through the wood and the joint could fail.

Love it.. thanks for the detailed explanation. Functional & looks great. I recently visited a friends home theater & he had several movie posters in glass around the room & all i could see was the reflection of light from his screen on the glass of the poster. I had one framed with this expensive glass that is supposed to be anti-glare (i.e. see through) but in a dark room i could see a reflection so I never hung it on the wall (and spent more than what you did for all 5 panels). This is my next project for my theater room!!!!!

This tutorial was perfect! We followed it to create our own and they came out amazing! We have videos up with our theater room with our sound absorbing posters.

Just built 7 Poster panels. Followed your instructions to the letter. Shout outs to Movie Mania, Gimp, and My Fabric Designs. Awesome.

Dude this was an EPIC tutorial. Well done.

Hey, just checking in. Great video Kyle! I've always said on the forums that anyone can do these. There are always a few extra steps for things like images with white backgrounds, ones with black edges to the image and hot to align those when the border is also black, verifying image quality (can't always trust the internet image sites as most of those are already enlarged, but some are better than others, and how to handle that dream image that doesn't look up to snuff before printing). Those are more of the exception than the rule and people can head over to that forum link in your description to ask for more specific help, but this should work spot on for almost everyone. Again, great video, and everyone else in the comments, go make some panels!

I told you, these are awesome! Big shout-out to Nick for all the help with the artwork & sizing! Now get those clouds done and revell in the stereo separation that ensues! Feel that big fat sweet spot!

I liked the video, but you get the sub because you were transparent about your amazon links. I appreciate the honesty. Many people post amazon links without being up front about it.

This is brilliant. Serves dual purposes

*hasn't shown anything in the video yet* "Now would be a great time to like the video." lol

great video. was extremely helpful getting my images ready for upload. thank you

Great tutorial. Thank you.

Just amazing!! Thanks for this tutorial. I have panels and was looking for a way to get posters on them

This is an amazing idea. Would be great to redo this video. Saw this today, but moviemania doesn’t exist and the printing company doesn’t exist. And I have an iPad 😅

Like wrapping a Christmas present!

Great video man.. Next time I have spare time I'm going to replace my posters with these. Love your room man.

pretty cool idea and I am happy to see you using GIMP but just a hint to that, resize the canvas then you can center the poster with the function and when you add then the new layer there are two options first you can decide if it gets under or above the current activated layer, choose under and another option allows you to create it with the for-/background color so when you have black as this one just use it saves another working step

Awesome idea. I'm all over this. Thanks.

DUDE! You had me at MOVIEMANIA!!! THANKS A LOT!!!! :D Love you!

Well, I built some of these but did a few things differently and I am still waiting on my print outs to show up so I can complete them. I converted my upstairs game room into a media room a while back by adding a door and closing in a 9'x4' opening that looked out over the stairs. That room also has 4 - 34"x58" windows and I needed to close them in somehow but I don't like blinds (don't block enough light) and I don't like curtains. So a friend sent me your video and this is exactly what I needed. I built out acoustic panels per your design with the idea that I would inset those into the window frames. I have that part done. I put white cloth backing on the back and used the same insulation as you accept the outside has the reflective radiant barrier on it to help block any additional heat coming in from those windows. Those windows are on the side of the house and not visible from any angle really unless you are in my side yard so that is good. Once I get my print outs I will cover the boxes and then I plan to cut some trim to fit around the outside edges as a frame to make these look more like poster boxes. That will seal out the remaining light that is coming in on the edges and will completely block the light for my media room.

I completely forgot that printing on fabric was a thing, thanks a lot for the tip !

You did a nice job on them. They look real good!

Easy repeatable step by step made quick work of this. Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial!

Ciao . Ti seguo dall'Italia . Sei un grande , hai un home theatre strepitoso. Hello . I follow you from Italy. You are great, you have an amazing home theater.

Nice work! Seems like they are much cheaper than purchasing the commercially made version.

Awesome video, just what I was looking for. Going to build 4 of these.

Exactly what I was looking for! Fantastic! I'll be doing few of these on the back wall of my HT.

Pretty darn awesome. You should make these and sell them.

I love mine, they're the first thing people notice when they walk in. Don't forget to add a 'cloud' or two to the ceiling to reduce that 1st reflection point and improve the front sound stage imaging even more. Can't wait to see your REW analysis. All I have left to do is some bass management; and then start over upgrading hardware...lol

Great Video from start to finish seems like it's an easy enough project to try. After seeing prices of $200 per panel this is definitely worth a try. Thanks for the great step by step explanation.

Thank you thank you thank you! I watched a LOT of video tutorials on acoustic panels, but yours was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I needed to know the best way (and best company to buy from) to put images on fabric to cover acoustic panels. Your video was a life saver. I'd post my finished product but youtube doesn't have picture comments - Ah well! Message me if you want to see them!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

DUDE… YES!!!! This is so awesome!

Awesome looking panels! Thanks for the thorough instructions and also for using Gimp!

Wow. Those are fantastic.

You'll get better sound absorption by using thinner pieces of rockwool and having a small air gap in between. Use scrap pieces of rockwool or strips of lumber to hold the sheets of rockwool apart. Glue them in place. I suppose you could also use bubble wrap to create the gap too. I might try that route myself if I make a panel.

Awesome brother your my favorite youtube home theater guy. Because of DIY.

Made one this weekend. Used pine instead of poplar to save some $, also used Owens Corning vs. the Roxul to save a little more $. Came out great, though. Really impressed with the resolution of the print on the material. Thanks for the tutorial!

Dude, great job. I would like to have some for my up an coming theater room.

That is the best idea I've seen in a long time, its cool brilliant and serves a purpose thanks a lot 😁😁😁

Yeah I also built my own sound panels for my "studio," but your movie poster idea is off the hook. They're just perfect for a home theater setting. And I can see that HT room is your new favorite place to hang out, eh?

Not sure when or why I subbed to this channel, but I'm glad I did, I am into DIY.

I gotta tried this

I liked this video quite a bit! My build is quite similar to yours. Once I get my Volts on the back wall I am going to look at acoustic treatments for the rear. I'm not sure I want to do movie posters yet... but they look great in your space.

Потрясающе! И красиво, и функционально, как надо!

Fantastic tutorial vid. Well done! And they turned out great!

Excellent job Bliss! Great video as usual!

Amazing video man! Currently uploading images to the website. These will work great for my guitar and living room area.

Amazing idea Thank you very much for the video

Pretty cool

Nicely done! Sound absorption with style!

Awesome video, very helpful

With Fabric Designs no longer in business - what's an alternative supplier ?

Thanks for sharing, sir. This was a really great, informative video. I am planning on doing this for my home theater very soon!

Wow I really love these!!!!! I believe I can use my corel drawing program to edit the files. I'm definitely gonna give it a try. Thanks for this video.

Extra kudos for the spaceballs poster!

3:42 to adjust scale image as you like, you can click icon chain like in scale windows windows ( right of the image size column, width and height), so the icon chain like separate, and you can adjust scale image as you like 5:36 to center your layer, you can use Alignment tool in gimp ,,, located on the right of the tool you are using ,,, the icon like Alignment tool in office software,,, thnks for sharing this video,, (y)

Great work man! 👍

I haven't used GIMP in many years but with many image editing programs that has support for Layers you should be able to select both layers then use some sort of Align tool to center vertically and horizontally.

Such a cool idea

Picked 8 posters from your suggested website moviemania.com and also used the same designmyfabric website and they arrived the other day and look perfect, nice to get the 25% discount as I'm in Canada with the weaker dollar. Time to iron them all...next step, build the frames...when I stumbled on this video, it was perfect as my son and I wanted to have posters up in the home theatre, a project idea that started a year ago but we never tackled it and I wanted to have some acoustic panels. I learned a lot from using GIMP, by the 3rd poster, it was a few minutes to edit each poster and save. Thanks for all your time here, very appreciated.

Love your home theatre setup!

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Only the 5th time I’ve watched it.😂

that space balls poster is dope

Thanks for doing this vid. I was about to buy some from an acoustic company. I will be doing this myself.

Great video!! I have been wanting to do this for my recording studio. Thanks! You got a sub with this one. Time to compare before and after with Room EQ Wizard.

Awesome video, thank you, watched many times. I have 8 panels being shipped right now. What size Kreg screws did you use for this setup?

Nice vid and work seems like to much work for the guy that now tech savvy I need to start this business tho haha

NICE VIDEO THANKS

Great job and thanks for the information, look forward to more videos

Thank you for the detail video. I have flowed all your steps but the issue I am having is with size of the actual original files. I am not able to download anything higher than 3mb. I am downloading the 2500x4000. my panels are 24x48 and when I update the resolution on the GIMP app to 300 it completely distorts the image.. Anyone else having same issue or can recommend a solution??

While I really liked the video I just can't help but think you need another video on your awesome alcohol selection in the background!

FYI you need to change dpi before u change dimentions when you are rescaling in gimp, or you will get wrong dimentions(like i had for the first attempts).

Hey Kyle, and anyone else making these. Someone posted that there was a way to center the image and add the black border, without having to make a new layer. He didn't go into detail how to do it, but I figured it out. After you scale the image, and fit image to window, click on Image/ Canvas Size. Change to inches, and make it 33x48. Change offset to inches, and click Center. Change Resize Layers to All Visible Layers, and Fill With to Background Color. This step drove me crazy, but I figured it out. The Bucket Fill color that says Active background color, needs to be Black. It was white, and kept filling the background to White. Click Resize, and you'll have the poster all ready, with the black border. Then just rotate 90 degrees to upload it for printing.

Add a few skinny panels on the ceiling. Helps with reflections.

Nice job! Thanks

too bad myfabricsdesigns was closed for good, any alternative?

DUUUUUUUDE... nice job!

this is exactly what ive been looking for...thanks. im a Scifi freak so i have to hunt down some cool old movie images

Hi I just found this video, I was looking to try these for our home cinema but have found most of the sites are now defunct, would you do an updated video with details of places to achieve the same ends. Thanks

Great video, thanks taking the time to make it. I am trying to do the same but with 70's rock bands instead of movie themes. Any idea where I can find a site to upload photos?

Amazing idea!

Great video just what I've been looking for my home theater every detail explains well thanks for sharing and keep up the great work

Very cool video

No need to make new layer or center image, just change canvas size and expand from center and select fill background color.

Great looking panels, but there's an insufficient quantity of them. Maybe do some that are just plain and can vanish into the room, sort of. Also, consider what need there is for bass traps, like in the corners. There are acoustic room mode calculators on the web to help figure out how much treatment is needed and what kind to get the most out of a home theater or audio room.

Great video, thanks.

Anyone else start a movie poster folder for future creation? I love this idea.

This is a great video. Looking at the example picture that you pulled in, the pixels per inch are 300. Did you scale it from 72 to 300 prior to the video? I think that is an important step to possibly add to your video. Thanks for the help!

Very nice, don’t have the wood working skills though.

Wow! Nice edit

awesome work, thank you for sharing Wm.

Really enjoying ur tutorial. What format should I use if I want to get a landscape mode image?
