The LEGO� Movie..

Beechy McFly — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:53:43 GMT

Here�s the official synopsis for The LEGO Movie:

Quote:

The 3D computer animated adventure tells the story of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world.. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared..

Featuring the Voices of Will Ferrell, Liam Neeson, Will Arnett and Morgan Freeman..

Time to start making replicas!!

BTTF Ⅰ: Delorean Spinning License Plate Replica

SS3000 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:27:40 GMT

Hi guys
I recently modified a replica of �OUT A TIME� plate to the spinning version. I have never seen the real screen used prop on any website, so I just assumed with watching Blu-ray. I might want to redo if I could find the photos of the real prop though. Does anyone have it??

Thanks for watching,

GOG.com games 50% off plus Torchlight free

Sluis Van Shipyards — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:13:53 GMT

GOG.com

It's not my thing, but they have Torchlight, which is a RPG, free. I would recommend Crusader: No Remorse and Crusader: No Regret. Those have been two of my favorites since they were released in the late 90s.

42 Inch X 50 Inch Paper Unfold Question

Three65 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:06:00 GMT

I was wondering if it was possible to unfold some pep files into larger pieces since I have a 42X50 piece of paper to work with. Would it work out better to use larger pieces instead of a bunch of smaller pieces?

Came up with something awesome today...

Fiction Engineered — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:48:11 GMT

Okay, I was fooling around on IMDBs message boards when I came across a thread entitled "What if Michael Bay directed The NeverEnding Story?"

Of course, my first thought was "Wow, this will end well..." but then as I was writing, the idea turned out to be pretty freaking awesome.

Here's my response:

************************************************** *************************
The Never Ending Story, directed by Michael Bay, would take the basic story of TNES and mix it with TRON, with a dash of The Matrix and Terminator thrown in. It would consist of three films costing over $1 billion total to make.

Bastion, a gaming geek, gets his hands on a new virtual reality video game called The Never Ending Story. He invites five people over (the female best friend, the jock neighbor, the jock neighbor's extremely hot girlfriend, and the comic relief best friend) in order to play the game. Through completely impossible means (lightning strike, someone spills mountain dew on the VR machinery, or another stupid plot hook), the six of them get their consciousnesses sucked into the video game, essentially becoming their characters. However, they would be split up when they arrive, each arriving in their characters' "hometowns".

Fantasia would no longer be a fantasy world. It would now consist of multiple types of fiction, ranging from high fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, gothic horror, anime, and others, and it would play out tropes to the max.

The Nothing would be a destructive force, bent on destroying the virtual world, and Bay would destroy the entire concept of it by giving it the virtual form of a world-eating machine with billions of moving parts. In the real world, it would be a rampant coding error. It also would not show up until the second movie. In the third movie, it would pull a Skynet and try to eliminate mankind in the name of perfection.

The Gameworld Multitasking Omni-Resolution Kernel (GMORK) would depart from the original and be a game construct in human form. It will be the evil equivalent of TRON, seeing the characters as security breaches and actively trying to destroy them. It has been infected by The Nothing and serves its purposes.

The main character of Bastion would be played by Shia LaBeouf and basically be a carbon copy of Sam Witwicky. He would become Atreyu when he enters the game (basically merging the two characters into one). He would be a bog standard fighter-type character. His ultimate goal is to beat the game and get the girl. He wants Vanessa, but winds up realizing that he has always been in love with Lizzie.

Lizzie, the female best friend, would be played by an actress that is breathtakingly beautiful in real life, yet will be shown as Hollywood Ugly. She will be a magician in game and she will be desperately in love with Bastion.

Preston, the Jock Neighbor, will be a complete tool. He likes and respects Bastion, but will never admit it in public. He's also secretly gay and has a clandestine relationship with one of the other football players (who is openly gay). He openly picks on Dylan and other geeks (even Bastion) to deal with his own frustration and sexual identity crises. He will eventually come to terms with his own sexuality and Lizzie will be the person he comes out to first. His character will be a badass sci-fi soldier.

Vanessa will be the Popular Cheerleader With Hidden Depths. She is basically the girl to whom popularity is important, but longs for something more. Physically, she will be the Perfect 10 model, flawless in every way, but she will reveal that her homelife isn't as idyllic as everyone thinks, given that her parents, when they are around, are cold and distant, buying her affections rather than being genuinely caring. Her character will be an inventor from a Steampunk setting, which would give her the ability to show off her extremely high IQ. Through the course of the story, she will discover what having a family is all about, as well as the value of truly caring for someone and having someone that really does care about her. She gravitates towards Bastion, but eventually winds up with Dylan after he nearly dies saving her life.

Dylan will be the Comedic Sidekick who completely in love with Vanessa. This causes some contention between him and Bastion, but it works itself out. He is the only one who truly realizes exactly how smart Vanessa really is. He is consistently and often hilariously treated badly by Vanessa, who knows that he has the hots for her, but not the true depts of his feelings. He will be a werewolf in-game.

The Ivory Tower would be a space station designed to keep The Nothing at bay, but it has been sabotaged by GMORK, and is in severe disrepair.

The Auryn would be an Artifact Of Immense Power that the heroes have to find and use to return the Ivory Tower to its former glory.

Artax would be a mobile command base (mainly a Steampunk design with some high tech addons and magical enchantments) that somehow runs off magic, steam, and high tech fusion power sources.

The Childlike Empress would be the game's nascent AI that manifests itself in game as needed for advice, questions, and game tips. It would, of course, learn and grow as the game goes forward and more people play, but for now, it's in its infancy.

The first movie would consist of the characters finding each other, having misadventures, and running from GMORK's forces. Preston comes out to Lizzie and the two become confidants, each telling the other of their problems in love. Vanessa and Bastion both see this in the wrong way, thinking that Preston and Lizzie are hooking up, though both vehemently deny it. To "punish" Preston for "cheating," Vanessa starts flirting with Bastion, and even kisses him. This causes problems with Dylan, who sees this as Bastion betraying him.

The second movie would start with the group finding the Auryn and losing it to GMORK (as well as very nearly their lives) due to continued anger and mistrust. Seeing that the group is splintering, Lizzie convinces Preston to come out to the rest of the gang. After a big "hug-it-out" session, the gang rallies and defeats GMORK and his forces. Of course, Bastion/Atreyu will be the one to defeat him. During the battle, Dylan is gravely injured when he jumps in front of Vanessa to shield her from damage. She, of course, is astonished that he would do so despite how she treated him. The story would culminate in The Auryn being recovered and the Ivory Tower being repaired, barely in time to save Fantasia from total digital erasure. The heroes are then sent home, but one of them is harboring a secret...

The third movie would take place in The Real World. The Nothing has secretly infected Preston (through the battle with GMORK) and then goes global (putting Preston into a mild coma) and begins taking over all the computer systems in the world. Preston wakes up after a few days, just in time for The Nothing to become a noticeable threat. Through some other technobabble means, the gang is transformed into their virtual counterparts and must now defeat The Nothing in the real world and save Earth. The movie ends with The Nothing blowing up in a typical Baysplosion (don't ask me how), Vanessa asking Dylan if he wants to go out with her (and then kissing him passionately when he just assumes that she is torturing him again), Bastion and Lizzie sitting on his rooftop in the comfortable embrace of true love, and Preston coming out to his parents by bringing his football player boyfriend home.

************************************************** *************************

Make a few tweaks to the overall plot and actually get a crew that would do it right, and this would be a hell of an action trilogy.

What do you guys think?

Captain America Classic sub suit WIP

Roquefert — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:48:32 GMT

Hello Everyone!

This is my first full costume project I am trying to do. I have already created my shield and I will post pics of it when I can get them from my other computer but I am looking for some assistance!

I recently got the muscle base suit from Taylor McManus (Thanks btw!) and have been working on modifying it for my Captain America project.

I am running into trouble trying to continue the stripe pattern from the abs around the back and having them line up as I am not quite sure where the back and the front connect. You can see in this picture what I mean.

Now I am just a beginner with Photoshop so I am learning as I go but any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Oh I am also doing the actual scales for the chest as well! I purchased them from TheRingLord.com and I will post my WIP pics of that too! (need to buy more scales).

Famous prop photos

Sillof — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:10:47 GMT

I am trying to come up with a list of famous photos that appeared in movies. Not production photos but rather photos that played key roles in films. I am thinking of things like the photo at the end of the shining or the photo of the army unit in Hellboy.

Any thoughts?

My Kaylee Frye Costume(s) - So far!

JenniferKeller — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:03:52 GMT

Just before we start - I apologize for the image heavy post.

So I've been costuming as Kaylee for a few years now, so I have a few costumes... Here goes!

First up, my green coveralls. Sadly my coveralls button up instead of zipping but that will probably change soon. I plan on making a new set to be more SA.

Attachment 199075 Attachment 199084

I have made a couple of changes to this costume since - I've painted a new parasol (with the extra swirls so it's more SA) and I now have the Karen Kane shirt from the pilot.

Attachment 199077

This is the "Cherry Tree Pagoda" top! The top is in fact yellow (see photo), though it shows up more white in the show.

Attachment 199079

Next up - Kaylee's prairie harpy dress!

Attachment 199080 Attachment 199081 Attachment 199082

The fabric is the "Flowers on Wave" in green found at FabricTales.com It's narrow (24") and expensive ($27/yd). Ugh. Totally worth it!

And finally we have the Shindig dress - or as I like to call it... THE FLUFFY!!!

This is my absolute favorite costume to wear! I was able to wear it last year in the D*Con parade and I plan on doing so again this year....Or maybe the prairie harpy. Can't decide.

I sewed all of the ruffles by hand and drafted my own patterns. I'd say I have about 150 hours in this dress so far, and I still need to add the fringe to the sleeves!

I'm also currently working on her brown "Cartoon" coveralls. I've even gone so far as to track down the silly plate that she almost buys for Simon. >.<; All I have left to do for those is make the cartoon bunny for the pocket and find a top. I'm also trying to hunt down the black and gold quilted jacket she wears in some episodes.

Anyway, sorry again for the image heavy post - but I figured it would be better than making four or five separate ones!

Stay shiny!

Pepakura flap placement problem

Three65 — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:00:25 GMT

Hey guys, I am working on doing an unfold however it seems like no matter what I do PD puts a cut in one of my parts that doesn't need it. I keep trying to join the faces together and it just moves the cut over from the join. Is it possible to force PD to join them together and not put a flap in?
