Doozy Layout - Lifelike Marquee Letters

[tanneji]

Hello all!

So I have a special project for a band. They would like to have an album cover that has their album name in those old theatre style marquee letters. They want the ones that are thick non serifed and have the lightbulbs down the middle. I have some of these in illustrator but they want it photo realistic. I was wondering if there was a site with straight on photos of individual letters that i could paste together or if anyone knew a bang up way to create something like this in photoshop. I might have to learn some 3d rendering or something for this one haha.

Thanks!

Joel
