NAME IN LIGHTS
printer/cutter to print and contour cut the gallery
signage, original art show posters, all branding
elements, and other art replicas. One art installation featured silhouetted figures printed on several layers of clear Mylar that was then cut into ribbons vertically and hung from the ceiling.
Not only did Charles print pieces for the film, his
own printer was featured. A scene shows the interior of an artist's working studio where 150-foot rolls
of printed canvas are coming off a printer and then
applied to handbags, skateboard decks, and other
merchandise. The printer used? The same Roland
that printed the pieces for the film.
"It was the perfect solution," Charles recounted. "I started to show an on-set dresser how to
operate the printer, but the director thought it
would be best if I operated it since I was intimate
with the process. ... It was wonderful being on
camera, and I was pleased to be able to demonstrate some of the many ways that digital printing
can be applied," says Charles.

Ever wonder what it's like to see your printed
work on the big screen? Just ask Martin T. Charles,
graphic designer at Sagaboy Productions in Santa
Monica, California. He's helped produce printed
set decors for movies like "42," "Seabiscuit,"
"Saving Mr. Banks," and most recently, "Velvet
Buzzsaw," a 2019 Netflix satirical horror film starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo.
Charles was asked to help fabricate the main
settings of the film: the Los Angeles contemporary
art scene and Art Basel Miami Beach. "I felt very
at home in this environment," says Charles in a
release. "Having the opportunity to rework and
enhance some of the art pieces before sending
them to print was really enjoyable." Charles and
the art director and production designer of the
film used the interior of the Los Angeles
Convention Center to recreate locations called for
by the script.
After researching past exhibitions, Charles
used his Roland Soljet Pro XR-640 large-format
