Cartazes de filmes em Neon!!

I love neon signs - they’re hypnotic, sexy, sleazy and tacky all at the same time - and I’ve always thought it would be cool if cinemas used them to advertise films. So with that in mind, I thought I’d have a go at designing some animated Movie Neon.
My first attempt is Ghostbusters - an obvious choice really, particulary as neon featured heavily in the video for Ray Parker Jr’s single… http://youtu.be/KvkKX035484 
 
 
 
“Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.”
An animated neon poster for the original Star Wars film - Episode IV: A New Hope. This is the key moment when Luke discovers his call to adventure and the hero’s journey begins.
Also in this series of Star Wars neon posters:

A neon poster for Return of the Jedi.
As a kid, I assumed the returning Jedi was Luke, but it eventually dawned on me that the title could also refer to Darth Vader - turning against the dark side and destroying the Emperor. In this scene, he has to make the choice between good and evil.
C’mon Vader, make your mind up!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Superman in neon. 
 
A neon poster for the 1989 Tim Burton Batman film.
I loved this film when it was first released but I remember lots of critics complaining that Jack Nicholson’s Joker stole the show and overshadowed the title character. They may have had a point! 
I’ve tried to reflect that in this design with the Joker hi-jacking Batman’s symbol. 
 
Jaws was released 36 years ago today and I still won’t get back in the water.
For this design, I initially tried animating the classic Jaws poster with the swimmer and shark. Unfortunately it looked like the girl was swimming on the spot and the shark was chewing gum - not very menacing!
Instead, I’ve gone for a pair of shapely female legs treading water - it evokes a sleazy strip-club neon sign but with added danger. Also, the ripples are a neat link to the previous Spielberg neon poster, Jurassic Park.  
 
A neon poster for King Kong (1933), complete with Art Deco and a large phallic symbol.
I’ve also added to the neon with some flashing bulbs for this design - After all, he is ‘The Eighth Wonder Of The World’. 
 
A neon poster for The Shining. 
 
Happy Independence Day! Here’s a neon poster for Captain America.
This is similar to my previous Batman neon sign - the villian appropriating the hero’s logo - http://mrwhaite.tumblr.com/post/6490963767/neonbatman 
 
A neon poster for Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. BEETLEJUICE! 
 
A neon poster for The Seven Year Itch. 
 
Holy neon sign Batman!
