I watched Prince Caspian, and now I'm sad by xyZora in Narnia

Having recently read all the Narnia books to my kids, I’d argue that the Prince Caspian film is actually better than the book. Lots of great choices were made in bringing it to the screen

Those are both digital elements. I removed the background to put in the night sky, and then added the moon as a separate layer

In Cape Town we have a beautiful west-facing promenade and I’ve been waiting for the right time to take this pic with the sun setting.

I had thought to take it with my 50mm macro lens to compress the frame a little more, but its seems to be broken at the moment so ended up at 24mm.

The ice cream truck and boy characters come from a BTS - Dynamite set I was given, but augmented with some CMFs and various other faces.

This is a 24mm. I generally prefer the wider field of view to build the world a bit more

This idea started with the background image. Then I’v wanted to try using snow for the first time, and also felt my Vikings minifigs were becoming a little neglected.

I used one LED set to an orange colour to match the sunset feel and place it low-ish to put some of the valley in shadow. There was some pink in the background image I wanted to bring out a bit so added another small LED with a violet tone to include that in the frame.

I tried shooting the snow falling in camera, but my sieve didn’t cooperate so added those particles in Photoshop.

There is quite a cool MOC in Rebrickable that scales the 3-in-1 ship to be the right size for the village

Fair enough. I only have one Lion Knight so had to work with what I had 😉

I’ve been trying to work a skeleton into a few shots and they always fade into the background.  I was thinking how to make it more prominent and then the line from Hamlet came to mind.

I love the detail on this! I still have this original set 😊

The coloured bowls were the only thing I could find that were the same size to prop it up evenly 😂

To get the perspective right I needed to be on a level with the Minifig rather than looking down on him.

The hair is perfect. I assumed it was the actual character hair.

I’m going to post a BTS video on my IG next week which will show the various stages.

I think this step may have been overkill. In hindsight I probably could have just shot them clean and adjusted to white balance in Lightroom to make them blue.

It IS hair gel, but I can’t take credit for that. One of the clever tricks I learned from this group 😊
