Just an update. (Sorry for the large photo) :<(
Taj: The Movie.... I’ve spent the past three weeks in Australia working on the
movie “Taj”, an Australian film whose central prop is a Lego model of the Taj
Mahal. The original model, that I built last spring, took three months to build
(about 300 hours). Besides bringing the original model with me on the airplane
(it comes apart into 40 modules that were each carefully wrapped), I also
brought with me an additional 30,000 pieces to build a duplicate model. It took
about 75 hours to complete the second model. So the image shown is not computer
trickery but two complete models (each has about 25,000 pieces). A second model
was needed for a variety of reasons (including the fact that the model get
tipped over in over in one of the final scenes) Thanks and gratitude go out to
Shannon “Ocean”. He lives in Melbourne Australia and will be assisting the
producer in my absence. Many of you know Shannon from his amazing Mocs and
cheerful and whimsical comments he’s alway leaving others. In my three weeks in
Oz I got to know the “live and in the flesh” Shannon. Amazingly dedicated to the
film project, artistic, soft-spoken, intelligent, always cheerful, insightful
with ideas, Shannon also acted as my guide helping me to explore Melbourne and
its surrounding attractions. (We need to figure out how to get him to the
states!!) The movie begins filming in April. Release dates etc. are still up in
the air.
