Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

EDIT: The first set just didn't work well with the dimensions, so I have changed it a bit.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

Thanks!
That set looks familiar (https://vimeo.com/97069358)
I have actually changed the set quite a bit, it just didn't fit within 1920x1080 pixels.
It now has some plants growing inside it, the painting is higher (I've given up the idea of making a soldier throw a sword at it mini/lol) and I took down a part of the wall.
It isn't in a cave, it just started out as a set for remaking the Rookie Cook video I made for THAC.
As for the landscaping, I don't have nearly as many bricks as I would like it to have (I've barely finished this one wall)
I'll take all the shots I need from one angle, and then take down a bit of the wall and rebuild it somewhere else.
Thanks,

I have posted a photo of the set above.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

I really like the picture on the wall!

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

I built a city street.  It's easily the largest set I've ever made thus far.

I guess it's a bit late for "critique" as such since I've actually finished animating everything, but I thought I might as well post a picture before dismantling it.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

Very nice. I love the grey building on the left with the yellow and green eye. Also, the alleyway with the brown and grey brick pieces is quite spiffing.

P.S. Is that a reference to Citizen of the Year I see?

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

Is the eye part of the story? That whole building is kind of mesmerising to look at.

I love the addition of the billboard, and the arched alleyway entrance.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

I like it, it feels very LEGO, like a bunch of stuff mashed together in someone's imagination; and the level of detail is quite nice. mini/smile

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

There's a great thread for just showing off the frame without qritiquing it... "Show Off A Frame".  It's in the General Film Discussion section.  Awesome artwork on your city, Vertigo!

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

I've see bits and pieces of this set from your Twitter, and I have to say, it looks fantastic. Can't wait to see it in action.

@HOO, the "Show off a Frame" thread is for completed frames, not for sets and props. The picture Vertigo posted is a set, not a final frame.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

That's such a good set.  I like how all of the buildings are clearly of slightly different design.  It gives it a more realistic feel.

I've made a reactor room... any thoughts?

Thanks, but how could I use cling wrap? I don't quite understand what you mean.

And one thing that may not be obvious is that I've got the whole cylinder hooked up to a motor spinning (for a blur effect).

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

cling/clear wrap, what ever they call it where you are from, put it inside it, all crunched up, then with the motor spinning, it'd look AWESOME! give it a go, just balls of cling wrap... mini/bigsmile

How does this lamp look?

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

It looks good, although the bottom is a bit bulky.
Perhaps if you switched out that 2x2 round brick with one of these.
Or maybe just a 1x1 round brick, that would work as well.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

I do not own a black dome piece. Do you think a 2x2 round plate would work better? Using a 1x1 brick seems too small; if it were a real life object it would fall because the base is smaller than the bulb at the top.
