Title screens as posters, or adding them to the galleries

[Brian Thibodeau]

I was just skimming back through some of the credit screens posted in this forum over the past few months and noticed few, if any, of the often beautiful title screens have been added to the image galleries for their respected films. Some of these are quite nice, and would even make for worthy "posters" on entries where there are none already.

For future uploads of my own, I was thinking I might add just the title screen to the DB entry and, if it's artistic enough and no other poster has been set, add it as the poster as well. I did it this evening with BLACK MAGIC 2, and that's what got me to thinking about it.

Doesn't take long, if those uploading credits to the forum on a regular basis think it's a good idea. There's definitely some nice title cards that may be lost this forum if they're ever removed from whatever sites particular editors use to host them (photobucket, etc.)...

Good point - I have uploaded title screens as posters for movies that don't have a 'proper' poster in the past, but I guess I don't usually think of it...

Better the original posters than screen title credits.

When we have not poster, then better screen title credit than nothing.
