Shawshank Redemption, The

Very nice...

And thanks for all the pics... now I just need the nozze de figaro vinyl. Very expensive at the moment... I wondered if I could use a similar shaped box and just glue a printed cover on it, but I didn't find just one usable graphic...

I would like some of the pieces Andy carved while in prison.
 
Did some more paper props:
Minerva Gil Postcard Front.png Minerva Gil Postcard Back.png
This was not seen in the movie. Should print as 111 x 70 mm. The photo was cleaned up and enhanced in Topaz Photo AI. The writing and the stamp prints were fully vectorized, while the Liberty stamp is a cleaned up photo found online.
Minerva Gil is actually a Mexican actress ==> Minerva Gil | Actress. Here's another postcard from the same photoshoot (different background):

Andy's letter to Red (original):
Image63.png H3257-L96346145 - 8.5 x 11 inch.jpg Andy's Letter to Red Original.png

2 variants of Andy's letter to Red (not screen used):
Andy's Letter to Red v1.png Andy's Letter to Red v2.png

These were corrected, cleaned up and vectorized. Should print as 273 x 215 mm.

Andy's letter and envelope to the State Controller:
Dufresne's Letter For Library.png Dufresne's Envelope For Library.png

Again, the writings were fully vectorized. The letter is 265 x 205 mm, while the envelope is 233 x 178 mm.

Tommy's envelope, letter and diploma:
Tommy's Envelope with Stamps.png Tommy's Envelope no Stamps v1.png Tommy's Envelope no Stamps v2.png Tommy's GED Letter.png Tommy's Diploma.png

The Board of Education logo is actually the logo of Rutgers' College:
rutgers-university-c1825-granger.jpg

Everything was vectorized and correct(ish) fonts were used , except the stamps - these are cleaned up photos. The frame of the diploma was found online (just search for Great Papers! Metallic Gold Border Certificate) and used one of the corners to vectorize it. The envelope is 371 x 253 mm, the letter is 320 x 245 and the diploma is 294 x 222 mm.

Byron Hadley's Warrant of Arrest:
Byron's Arrest Front.png Byron's Arrest Back Clean.png Byron's Arrest Back.png

The one with the Miranda Rights (in lack of good reference I used a font for the hand writing) is present on this warrant and can be seen for a couple of frames:
Image28.png Image28_2.png

The logo was vectorized, correct(ish) fonts were used and the judge signature was recreated from scratch. This should print as 232 x 139 mm.

Samuel Norton's Warrant of Arrest:
Norton's Arrest Front.png Norton's Arrest Back Clean.png Norton's Arrest Back.png

Used a different font for the Miranda Rights text.

Beautiful work. Thanks for all of your contributions over the years, I could do half of what you do, but it would take me forever and still not be at your quality. On a side note, now I have to go look into Topaz AI :lol:
 
Found the original screen used letter written by Andy to Red, so the original letter in post #70 was replaced with a better replica.

Also did Red's parole papers:
Red's Parole Decision No Stamp Print.png

Image2.png Red's Parole Decision 1st Rejection.png Image11.png Red's Parole Decision 2nd Rejection.png Image40.png Red's Parole Decision Approved.png

Because Red's hearings were at every 10 years, I only changed the years on the 2 rejected papers. As with the other papers, these were done with correct(ish) fonts and the photo was slightly cleaned up and enhanced in Topaz Photo AI. These should print at 280 x216 mm.

Red's note to Andy with Rita Heyworth's poster:
Image3.png Image4.png No Charge Note.png
Made this as 146 x 99 mm

And the other note with the Marilyn Monroe poster:
Image13.png Image12.png New Girl Note.png
Sized as 150 x 91 mm.
