FAQ
Good to know
What is a moviestripes poster?
A poster that shows a film's colours across its whole running time. We analyse the film frame by frame and turn it into a graphic, such as a barcode of stripes, rings or colour layers. Title, year and running time are added, plus your own text if you like. It is not a film poster but a portrait of the film in colour.
How are the colours on the poster made?
We divide the film into very short slices of time and work out the dominant colours of each. We deliberately do not use a plain average, because that turns brown-grey for almost every film. Instead we adjust brightness and saturation so the film's character is kept. We trim opening logos and end credits so there are no black or grey blocks at the edges.
How long does delivery take?
Usually 3 to 6 working days from your order, because each poster is printed fresh to your configuration. For requested films that are not in the catalogue yet, add up to 48 hours for creating them. You see the delivery estimate before ordering. [Delivery times to be confirmed; depends on the print partner.]
Can I return the poster?
That depends on whether you personalised it. Posters with your own title or subtitle or a film selection you put together yourself are made to your specification and excluded from the right of withdrawal (§ 312g (2) no. 1 BGB). Posters without your own details can be withdrawn within 14 days of receipt; you bear the return shipping cost. The cart shows for each poster which rule applies. If your poster arrives damaged or misprinted, please contact us within a few days with a photo and we will replace it free of charge. The binding rules are in our terms and the withdrawal notice.
When do I need to order for Christmas?
The Christmas order deadline is expected in early December. We will publish the exact date here as soon as it is fixed. Our tip: order as early as you can.
