el jefe : thx ! yes i have heard that before
which is the best compliment for me. i so much love the old box art pics and catalogues . as a kid i had a lot of playmo. but i remember the steck houses were just out of reach and everybody wanted to have them. the only chance to get one of these was at christmas but then most of my friends and me went for the pirate ship or some vehicles. i think i bought one steck house at a flea market and it was not complete. it was one of my favourite toys. maybe i just watched the catalogue sites a bit to often
the combination of "real" stones or water and landscape + playmo is the best for me. as i have a company for film / animation these sets are a bit like training. if you have the chance to see the making of the lord of the rings ( 6 hours / comes with the extended box ) you know what i am talking about.
the table where all this is set up is about 11square meters + lightning. the backdrop pic is about 6 meter long and saves so much time - no more photoshop ( just slightly touches ). for the pics it is very easy to get good results when you have good light - best way : ( if you don´t want to spend money for it ) go outside...and never use a flashlight....
cheers !
i was asked to produce these backgrounds now for other people and if there is interest ( i will do a western background soon ) please PM me . they can be 1 meter or up to 20 meter long...my version is 61 cm high there is a possibility to get these 1 meter high but this is expensive...
