Alvin Pingol Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hi Daniel, although I cannot answer your question, may I politely ask that you not type in CAPS? Typing with caps-locked is the equivalent to yelling, and can be distracting. Thank you, and good luck on your visual portfolio. Have a nice day.

J. Anthony Gonzales Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I'm not aware of a true "movie photo database", but here's a few ideas. Are you looking to do some sort of query/filiter sort of thing, or do you have a list of films you want stills from? If you have a list of films, then here's three quick ways to do it: 1. IMDB - pull up the movie and see if in the left-side nav menu it shows a link to an official website. Official sites usually have a still photo area. 2. Google on the movie name and look for reviews. Usually, there will be a photo or two along with the review. Or better yet, look for a movie review site and pull up reviews for the movies from your list. 3. Moviefone.com - pull up the movie and you should get a couple of photos. If you are trying to find photos of films from a certain genre or release year or other to get a list of movies, use IMDB to do an advanced query for what you are looking for and then try 1,2 and/or 3 above. Anyway, that's how I'd go about it. John G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Puckett Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 It shouldn't be too hard to pull frame grabs off of a DVD through an NLE. It's not going to be great quality, but certainly a lot cleaner then the extremely compressed stills that are posted on the net. It will also give you flexability to choose which scenes you would like to use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
