One Million Views

 Somewhere along the line in the last few days my little ol' blog crested the one million views mark.  I suspect most of those are bots - after all its called "Only Googlebot Reads This Blog", so thanks bots!

Tiny Arm Energy Pt. 4

 The T-Rex escape sequence in Jurassic Park is one of my favourite cinematic moments. So I decided to recreate it.

I started by 3D printing and painting the T-Rex, and creating the diorama out of foam and 3D printed fence posts. The man is an Indiana Jones figure. The rest is the magic of camera lenses, lights, photoshop,textures, grunge, all that good stuff.

I made a video showing the whole process here:

 Put the finishing touches on the large diorama for the T-Rex.  This is now camera ready!

Tiny Arm Energy pt.2

 I have finished the T-Rex model.  I need to build a bigger base for photography purposes, but this will do for the long term shelf display.

Tiny Arm Energy

 My next project is going to involve this guy...



He's old, and so am I, so it may take a bit.  Either way, he's coming off the 3D printer now...

Raphael

Raphael.

Did a little playing around this evening, trying to get out of a creative funk.  I grabbed some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures I've had in my collection for years, but never really shoot very much.  Played with some lights and depth of fields in camera, then tossed it into Photoshop for some polishing.

I kinda dig it.  I am thinking of doing a series with each of the 4 turtles.
