Re: Show off a Frame!
Looks really nice, is the scale done with perspective?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by scale, everything seems to be a pretty acurate depiction of there real size, I created the effect with one light and a 105mm lens on a 27mm? extension tube. This is what the setup looks like in real life, I moved the hypno-wheel and chain around to get the composition perfect. You can't really see the chain but when the dramatic focus pull reveal happens it's more visible.
I just meant you have sort of a Lord of the Rings perspective thing going on that makes the chicken look really big. It make sense seeing the set up. Really cool; I'm looking forward to this.
Well, these aren't actual frames of animation, but rather promotional pictures. This first image is a promo photo showcasing some of the characters who will be appearing in Episode 3.
Left to right: Brent Schndier (Voice by Michael Tourette), Male Police Officer (Voice by J Karson), Alien Infantryman, Priest (Voice by Max Butcher), Police Station Secretary (Voice by Amanda Allbee), Cellmate (Voice by Michael Tourette), Angela Schneider (Voice by Mary Charles), Melissa (Voice by Cecilia Yus), and Johnny Strange (Voice by Brandon Fields).
Notice that the cellmate is breaking out while everyone else is posing.
And the second has been chosen as the cover to the DVD, which I'll be starting to assemble as soon as the video is posted.

Love the vintage policeman uniform in the first photo! I bought two of those guys on bricklink a while ago.
This is two frames from my new film Relentless heart, which is still in early production.

I'm loving these tavern scenes Rafael!
It looks really nice. There's some great attention to detail here.
I'm wondering if I should make my tavern scene have a dark feel since it is night outside? I'm afraid the picture I posted is to light.
Is it a nice, cozy, relaxing tavern, or a shifty, shady, suspicious tavern?
If the former, keep it as is, it will create a nice contrast to the uninviting outside night.
If the latter, then yeah, it's a bit too bright.
Love the LED usage though! And the set looks great.
The second frame is a bit dark, making it hard to make out details without a close examination.
It's not as detailed, making use of many unadorned rock pieces, so if you have the bricks, I'd suggest trying to build that up a bit.
Its kind of a shady and suspicious tavern so I guess all darken it some.
The second picture isn't very good because I don't have that many rocks, and I probably couldn't build it out much more than I already have.
Thanks for the advice Pritchard!

This is Frame from my movie "The Fate of Exillius II"

Here'a frame from "Holding Our Own: Episode 4." This is the lobby of the Township Hall, located in Northern Bremen. The man on the left is voice by BiM's very talented Jay Silver, and designed by my wife, Angela. I stole the laurel leaf design from the Town Hall set in the modular series.
I like it a lot actually, HOO. The set is very nice and I like how it all blends together. Looking forward to the completed project!
I have my own frame to show here, but HOO's is still completely open for discussion. The black bars aren't the actual ones, but they do give a good idea on what the film will look like in the end.

I know what scene this is from! Awesome set man. 
Holding, great use of the croissants!
It seems like there may be a few too many colors, and the yellow could be a touch overpowering, but I like the inclusion of the shield and flag. The sink is intriguing me, and I like the plants hidden off in the side window/display areas.
Good figure designs by the way, it's interesting how the girl has the short male hair, yet it still comes off as perfectly natural and feminine.
GHB, very well done sir!
The guy is slightly off center, but the rest of the frame more than makes up for that. The great detailed set, the sweet lighting, and heavily desaturated colors give it a fantastic noir feel. That film's gunna be great, I just know it.
Just make sure the final frame doesn't have the white lines inside the black bars.

Thanks. I actually kept most of the color variety in the yellow range. The beige, yellow, and brown (and even the laurel leaves all in that family. The blue baseplate was going to be gray originally. I was waiting for two 16x16 baseplates from bricklink but there was a problem with my order, but the show must go on! I chose blue to complement the yellows to keep it Earth tone and for variety, and also because the faucet I used was blue. The sink isn't an accurate portrayal of a public sink, but it's the way we used to make public water fountains out of Lego in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when LEGOLAND was first introduced.
As for the hair, my wife did that "male hair" on the female clerk pretty naturally, and I was also impressed at how it just looks right.
Thnaks for the comment, Harborlight. Being one of the few who actually read the entire script, I know you know what's happening in the picture. Here's a reference shot from the same scene, featuring the mayor of Antwerp township at stage right. My wife made this minifigure, too. He's actually not ever in this scene, but another scene in this building!

That looks completely awesome, love that set, and that lighting.
Wow. I am in love with that little halo of light around his head 
That set is also insanely expansive and detailed. Terrific work.
Anyways, here's a shot from my recent EASTER entry. Incidentally, the one I was most pleased with.
Two unedited stills from The Defenders. I have some tweaking to do when I get around to editing (such as aspect ratio, and adding some subtle glows to the candles)...which will be a way away. Essentially, I'm filming scenes in the Sanctum Sanctorum way ahead of time, so that I'm free to take the set apart.
