SHAM032 - Almost Human: The Artwork
 

From Amazon:

Attachment 8297

No offence, but is someone having a laugh with that? It's surely got to be temp art?

it is on Amazon, just had a look. :shocked:

What makes me think it's not the final artwork is the font for the title. Exactly the same as the Bronx Warriors releases.

:lol: It would certainly attract attention.

Looks to me like temp art too.

Some of these e-tailers still have temp art up for a lot of the much older titles too, for some reason.

It looks like temporary art to me to, hence why the picture is so small and lacking in detail. In any case, nothing has been announced here and I doubt Amazon would have the exclusive.

I sure hope that's temp art! :shocked: :D;)

This is the final art but Amazon certainly don't have an exclusive on this! What they haven't revealed is that this is a special lenticular sleeve. I'm posting an animated GIF below for you to see the lenticular art in action!

EDIT: I have now changed this post to include the most up-to-date version of the GIF!

:pound:

Brilliant, if thats not a wind up i don't know what is. :pound:

not sure what the guy in brown in the bottom left corner is doing.

must be huge... :happy:

I don't know... I simply post a picture of a half-naked girl hanging from a light fitting and and you just have to lower the tone... ;)

As this artwork is still on Amazon, it would be interesting to know if pre orders for this title are higher than other releases. - The seduction of the gullible.

It's true - I need moderated... like in the image!

It's amazing how hypnotic that GIF becomes after a minute or so!

Sorry don't like it.

I quite like it actually... I have no idea why though.

I think this is my least favpourite Shameless atwork so far. With it being a lenticular cover, are we still getting reverse artwork for this one? :pray:

Don't mind the image and it'll look OK as a lenticular when it's in your hand.

But watching it as a GIF is just horrible, makes Milian look like buffoon. Anyone who doesn't know the film will think he's a retard who pulls stupid faces based on that.

Trippy stuff - I like it! :nod:

I'm not too keen on it I'm afraid. I like the idea of a lenticular cover (although not sure how this affects the prospect of reverse artwork - is it a slipcase or part of the dvd cover itself?) but it just doesn't do it for me sadly. Although I haven't seen the film when I look at that cover I think 'torture porn', not 'Italian cop movie'.

Isn't that the idea though? To sell the DVD to people who would otherwise have passed this one up. The covers are designed to grab attention and sell copies.

Putting tits and blood on the cover will sell more copies in HMV even if it's not representative of the film's content.

This is go to sell shed-laods with that cover. Mark my words.

:lol:

Weeble wobble. :eyebrows:

The reverse art will be interesting then.....

Plus her breasts are pretty fantastic... that certainly doesn't hurt.

It's certainly easy on the eye. ;)

I'm wondering that myself.

Good question! And the answer is that I haven't the foggiest! :doh:

I will find out though!

Surely it's a slipcase.....

Will HMV sell a dvd with a cover like that?
Or will there be a strategically placed sticker? ;)

Underagers-start growing the bumfluff now! :lol:

I have no confirmation of this but my guess is there will be some sticker work going on... ;)

I love the simplicity of the image, personally it sells it for me.

You'd think so. If so then surely there'd be no reverse artwork unless the disc comes with some sort of plastic holder to display the slipcase in the event to you displaying the aternate artwork beneath the slipcase. Or else what are you meant to do with the slipcase? :)


Thanks Sarah!

Anyone got any alternate artwork for this one?

I don't think you can put a lenticular image on a piece of paper so I would guess that image would be on a slipcase containing an Amaray with a reversible sleeve. I wouldn't put any money on that -- it's just how I see things panning out with a lenticular image as part of the release.

Yeah,I'd put my money on that.:nod:

Righty, the lenticular image will be on a card the same size as the front part of a DVD inlay. It will slip inside the plastic sleeve over the standard inlay. This is to make it so that the lenticular image can be slipped out and displayed independently of the DVD case if you so wish.

As there will be a regular inlay as well as the lenticular image, there will be reverse artwork as well.

That seems like a good idea and at least I was partly right! I'd probably keep the lenticular card on display rather than putting it on the shelf with my other Shameless DVDs.

Great idea and you've gotta love the lenticulars! Just a quick question (or two ;)).. What made Shameless decide to do a lenticular for this particular release and are there any future titles planned to have similar treatment? Thanks in advance.
