Rook's Collectibles Photo Thread

The BTS shots are so amazing. As are all the others! So impressive and inspiring.

Where do you get the backdrop photos? Are they SW related or just photos of snowy/desert/forest scenes etc?

Absolutely stunning photography my friend!

 

[Rook]

Thanks, Roberto!

All of them are pulled from shutterstock.com. Even the ones of Mos Eisley. If you do a search in Shutterstock for Mos Espa, you'll get a selection of photographs of the actual set, which was left intact after the filming of Episode I.

I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it. Now that I looked again, great detail that adds to the overall feeling.

Thanks. It was mainly meant to distract from the stand under the Probe Droid. For the final image that they used, one of the graphic artists at Sideshow used photoshop to remove the stand, and to replace the legs. I don't criticize a lot, but it looked really bad.

Thanks for letting me know, I've really been struggling to find anything as big as those in your photos.

Edit: ah sucks. Looks like they've been taken off now.

I just saw them there this morning. Did you search for Mos Eisley? Or Mos Espa?

 

[luke182w]

Eisley, Espa brings up a few. Also Hoth and Endor. I just get a lot of Lego photos showing up.

 

[Rook]

Ah, interesting. Wonder why?

Here's another. I tried a different perspective that focused more on the Surfer and less on the board.

 

[Rook]

Just this once, I decided to try some Photoshop. I really like how it's working, so I might try it some more later.

 

[Craig Walker]

Love that ^

 

[Rook]

Thanks, man!

A couple more from over the weekend. An unboxing/review/photo gallery of Donatello will be up on the Toys Will Be Toys channel on YouTube later today.

Early morning exercise. This took 15 minutes, plus the time it took to light the lightsaber in post.

 

[Rook]

I'm legitimately incapable of stopping myself from photographing stuff this week.

 

[SoGS]

By all means, continue!

 

[Artoo]

By all means, continue!

Agreed.

 

[Rook]

You asked for it.

Flirting with Photoshop again...

 

[Craig Walker]

So good

 

[Craig Walker]

Nice job on the latest Poser vid.

Nice job on the latest Poser vid.

Thanks, man. I'm pretty excited about the little things they're adding to it. Like that electric effect when transitioning between the final poses. Cool stuff.

Couple of new photos from over the weekend and this morning:

This Rogue PF has the distinction of being one of very few with perfect eyes on both heads. It used to be a prop on Big Bang Theory before I was able to get ahold of it.

And, of course, Master Chief...

Is the "fog" done in Post, or how are you achieving it? Nice look.
