Le Voyage dans la Lune
About the design
on January 21, 2007
This is based off one of the most recognizable images in film history, a scene from George Melies' 105 year old film called Le Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon), in which crazy astronomers shoot a rocket out of a cannon into the moon's eye, and explore it's surface. You can watch it on youtube if you like.
I felt such a strong iconic image as the moon (with albeit a modern) rocket in it's eye appropriate for a film festival tshirt that celebrates film and film making, as George Melies pioneered many moviemaking techniques, and created the first science-fiction film ever.
Best,
Kenneth.

Not digging the gold for this design, but i like what youve done with the parody. Not since the "Tonight, Tonight" Smashing Pumpkins video have i seen someone give that image the proper justice and placement it deserves! At first, i thought there were little people at the bottom of the moon which i even like more, but then realized it was just your image coming through! Good stuff.

Would have scored it higher had it had a little more accuracy.
It should have been designed with a Saturn V rocket, Apollo spacecraft, lunar lander or command module in the eye, but not a space shuttle.
Shuttles have never been used to go to the moon, just to ferry satellites or other payloads into orbit.
djdole
...also the space shuttle isn't a rocket.

nice work...as for the need for accuracy, come on, its an interpretation using popular culture motifs...the shuttle is totally fine...it adds to the noir effect

at least it doesnt have a camera in it
staffell

I like it a lot, but the bit of the moon that seems to have melted down over its mouth REALLY bothers me... it looks as if his nose is running. Without that, it's a buy.
kennnnnnnnnn
it's only accurate to the original: http://filmyear.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/trip_to_the_moon.jpg
and in motion, it's super oozing/dripping off his face. it IS pretty gnarly looking.

as a science geek - i kinda have to agree that a lander of some sort would have been preferable to the shuttle - and the yellow saddens me - otherwise awesome and, yes - perfect for tribeca
kennnnnnnnnn
it would be dope if something could glow in the dark. but i'm not sure how that works.

This is one of my fav images. Absolutly awesome

great departure from your usual freakish illos of little creatures, birds and fat women, but just as amazingly freakish nonetheless.
5$

5$, but I would prefer it on a dark blue shirt, it would give the surroundings more of a space-feel.

5$ i agree, put it on a darker shirt and it would be perfect.

By the way, the shuttle in it makes it so much better, almost as if its making a jab at modern space efforts :-D

Ooh, it's all sticky! It's covered in jam!
lol sorry, random Eddie Izzard quote. ;)
Anyway, I give you a 4 because I kind of don't get it. But you get kudos for having a title in French. So I'll make it a 5. :)

Kay, you just have to watch the film that inspired this to understand. Maybe even just the one scene. :shrug:
