To those who saw my poster in the Upcoming Films Posters thread (which can be seen here) and the picture on my desktop in the Post Your Desktop Here thread (which can also be seen here) this is how I made it.

A tutorial on HOW TO MAKE THIS:

How I made it:
Take all of the grey bricks you can (same size, mine were 4 by 2's) and build two LONG walls, 6 bricks high each. Each wall, if you put them up on end, were taller than me, over 5 feet!!!! Put them together, and they go over one floor! Anyway, put each wall side by side, and then put flat pieces (black) over the two parallel walls. the walls should be 8 or 10 studs apart. (6 or 8 visible between).
Now that you have a 5+ foot long "corridor" of legos, attach a curving piece of printing paper at the end, from bottom curving up, then over, attaching on the roof of the corridor. Place this whole setup on some shiny surface. I used a glossy banner 10 feet long, but maybe a shiny floor or table top will work as well. My "floor" was all white, don't know what darker colors might make. The shiny "floor" creates the reflection of the guy you see in the pic.
Place a second, reflective piece of something (mine was a reflective piece of foam) behind the paper. You could maybe cover something with tin foil. Then put 5 or 6 lamps, all pointing at the reflective board and allowing the light to reflect off of it through the paper into the corridor. Place camera at other end of corridor, zoom in if you want, or keep it zoomed out, then adjust the exposure to really high. Turn on all lamps, turn off all other lights and look throught the cam. What you see is epic. Then some simple recoloration on Photoshop, and a slight zooming motion blur effect, aaand done.

Here are some more pictures:
This is the original RAW picture.

This is what it looks like when all lamps are off, normal lighting. Notice its paper in the back.

This is the set up from the outside.

This is what happens if you take off the roof at the end near the lights.

Tell me what you think!
