Photo 193/365 - 12 July 2010.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ... before Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, an unsung hero encountered Darth Maul in a dawn battle.
Ok, I have a seriously warped imagination. This shot has been planned in my head for probably about 2 months, closer to 3 actually since I was still in my old job when I started pulling the props together. I have been holding off for a few reasons .. primarily I didn't want to resort to Danbo as a subject for my 365 too often, it is not the reason I embarked on the project.
Secondly, this has to be the most ambitious shot I have set up and took a lot of effort to get the lighting "right" as I imagined it. In the end it took 3 torches, the first of which placed on top of a stack of old business cards, the second perched on my oil heater, the third hand helded and some blind shooting with a remote to achieve this.
Some 60 odd takes later, this is the result. Danbo facing off a Sith on in an unknown location. But is that starship's profile vaguely familiar? An undocumented battle ... what really happened?
Oh yeah in between takes I had my dinner of Albóndigas on the stove without the liquid boiling over or burning. :)
