Oh, plenty of time will pass until you will see this finished! :lol
Thanks everybody for your kind comments!
There is some progress! First here is not so glamorous photo of three antenna/towers we made from junk and computer parts. One man's garbage is another man's treasure, eh?
I'm finding building these towers very enjoyable, they are pretty abstract so you can improvise and have some fun with them!
Not much was build apart from that, but a day ago we managed to do another miniatures test. This time we filmed a close up side pass over the buildings.
We bought a new fog machine and it really works like a charm!
This time we tried to film the passes with the Blackmagic camera instead of Canon DSLR. That way we can film at soundspeed (25fps) and it goes much faster than exposing a series of photos with DSLR. It seems to be working fine, so I guess we'll be using the camera from now on. You can see the camera to the right of this picture:
The back side of the setup is not so magical, just a pile of cables:
And before the video here is another beauty shot of the setup, closer to what camera saw:
Here is the LINK TO THE VIDEO:

Every time we do a test we fix some of the problems and learn something. I'm really satisfied with the look of buildings, but I still don't believe that all of the cars are really in that space so I must figure that out. Well, one step at a time!
See you soon!
