   Brendan-Style storytelling

My dream of hearing someone say “Brendan-style” has been achieved. And it’s (seemingly) not even in a negative context!

It’s true, my work does include more executions.

Great job on the overall supermarket look and environment, Keith--the well-stocked brightly colored shelves against the b/w floor tiles are very effective.

But the little details are the most fun. Some very cool minifig characters here, particularly the chick with two pistols and the Moses-looking dude with reflective sunglasses. Bad ass. Love the broken glass (or is that pieces of ice?) coming from the where the zombie has breached the frozen food section. Excellent appropriations of the check-out line shelves and shopping carts. They look great here.

And I very much like the suggestion of actual narration with the shopping carts being piled in front of the entrance in the final photo.

Photography is continuing to improve, getting right in there for some more movie-like angles on the action instead of the I’m-photographing-my-MOC look of overhead and wideangle shots. Soon you’ll be exclusively building scenes with one or two walls maximum, just so that you can stick the camera right up in the minifigs’ faces--like me! And like me, your MOCs will look terrible except from that one particular angle you built them to be photographed from! And you won’t have any impressive MOCs to bring to Brickfests! Yes, there are many great things to look forward to as you progress down the road to LEGO-illustrated narratives!

PS. I love that this is under lugnet.town. It’s about time town got a little more bad ass.

I thought I'd take a shot at some Brendan-Style storytelling. Although this is not nearly as narrative (or as well executed) as the Reverend's work, it was a blast to make. The ongoing 'plot' will be based off the classic work: The Zombie Survival (...) (20 years ago, 1-Feb-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town) !!
