The new Disney movie Saving Mr. Banks<\/i> uses inkjet-printed wide-format graphics to set the stage for a story spanning two continents and more than 50 years, as it tells how the movie version of Mary Poppins<\/i> was made.<\/p>\n

Starring Emma Thompson as Mary Poppins<\/i> author P.L. Travers and Tom Hanks as Walt Disney, Saving Mr. Banks<\/i> features more than 186 m2<\/sup> (2,000 sf) of vintage-backdrop graphics produced with Roland DGA large-format printers, primarily for two period settings: Los Angeles International Airport in the 1960s and the Allora Fair in turn-of-the-century Australia.<\/p>\n

To recreate these venues, graphic designer Martin T. Charles of SagaBoy Productions researched old photos for his hand-drawn illustrations, digitized them and embellished them with design software for more than 185 ads, signs and d\u00e9cor elements.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the fair scene, we created dozens of enormous banners, some as long as 9.1 m (30 ft),\u201d he says. \u201cThe airport graphics were equally imposing. You need to be mindful of registration lines and colour consistency across the largest prints.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another challenge was recreating the hand-painted methods of the times.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pigments and materials used in signmaking decades ago were much more rugged,\u201d says Charles. \u201cTo achieve an authentic look, we stomped on the prints to age them.\u201d<\/p>\n
