Toby was stoked when his Back to the Future Lego set arrived in the mail. He immediately built the DeLorean and put it on display in our apartment.
I had just finished a very big job so naturally I was spending some quality time on the couch watching TV. At some point I looked over at the little DeLorean and thought it’d be cool to recreate some scenes from the movie with it. So I pulled out whatever I had in the office to make this work… here’s my ridiculous set up (a couple pieces of mat board, a lamp without a shade propped up on a block thing, and a book I haven’t read to flag the light a little):
First I shot this one (all just iphone pics)…
Brought it into Photoshop and finished it up…
Then I did the same thing with the scene from the parking lot in BTTF1. For this one I had to make a little video camera from extra Lego parts…
So that was a fun little afternoon at home. It’s typically when I’m exhausted and need to rest that I’m hit with the urge to do things like this. Sometimes the urges only last a little while though – I could have done more but I went back to the couch and continued relaxing. All in all, a successful day.
