(...) The Studio set says to do this by using some kind of clear plastic. You set the plastic up so you can stick the object to it with tape or something sticky. I have not tried using the tip yet but the only time I needed it was in my ninja movie (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.publish.photography)

Hi Jeff! I know of five ways to fake flying: 1. Attach model with string - digitally edit out supports later (as you say, very time consuming) 2. Film model in such a way that the supports are hidden from camera view. In my movie, "2001: A Lego (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.publish.photography)

| | SFX: Flying LEGO?

This is tangentially related to both groups so I thought I'd crosspost. I understand that the LEGO Studios set contains tips & tricks for making models appear to fly without using string. I've done some work on my own in this regard (some of which (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.publish.photography)

(...) I know first-hand that Brian does NOT paint the bricks. The colors are from various kinds of adhesive tapes, and they could all be removed without harming the bricks (if for some reason he decided he needed to do that...) I've seen a few of (...)

Chris, Thanks for pulling this old message. To clarify my ground rules... 1. No painting. A lot of the value in a Lego element is compromised if it can't be reused as originally intended. Custom stickers and tape, however, are fair game as they can (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.publish.photography)

James, Thanks! This may take a while but I'll get some close-ups of the controls and mechanisms the next time I do a shoot. Everything is 9v with 4.5 wiring (boy did I get a deal when Dacta cleared-out 4.5v stuff) Turnouts are controlled by (...)
