F•I•E•N•D•S - The one with the decapitated head.

One year ago today I posted this miniature mashup I created using real figures, lighting and miniatures. I printed out the sign and stuck it onto glass and built the set out of cardboard.

"People are dying, Alfred. What would you have me do?"
-
"Endure, Master Wayne. Take it. They'll hate you for it, but that's the point of Batman, he can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make, the right choice."

All shot practically using figures, lighting, a log for the batcave and cling film for the waterfall.

"I present to you the newest in Stark Industries' Freedom line. Ladies and gentlemen, for your consideration... the Jericho."

All shot practically using real figures, lighting, cotton wool for snowy mountains and the fireball in the background which I painted black and lit with an orange light.

"Echo station 3-T-8, we have spotted Imperial walkers."

All shot practically using figures, miniatures, a rock from the garden and cotton wool for snow. Only digital element is a bit of rope I added to the distant AtAts legs

Internet complainers:
I hate copious CGI !

Behind The Scenes: This was a massive practical effect that required vast amounts of, engineering, people power, designers and problem solving.

Internet Complainers:
That practical effect still looked crap!

Me: I think you'll find, what you actually dislike is Fun.
You hate FUN. 😑

“Ugh, Mr. Rogers, I almost forgot that that suit did nothing for your ass.”

“No one asked you to look, Tony.”

All shot practically using figures and miniature sets. Only digital elements are Iron Mans eyes and Patriots chest piece.
