[Nocturne]
Who You Gonna Call?
I've been working on the concept for this one since the start of december.
My Wife and Son gave me the Ghostbusters Lego set for my birthday, I put it together and instantly came up with the idea for a light painting with a working theme of Don't cross the streams. (Making the streams Green instead of Orange and Blue) I wanted to create something using actual Ghostbusters ghosts but in a scene. I used an old cinema lego set and installed my Ghostbusters set to it acordingly, all that was missing was the ghosts, I chose a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from 1984 which was more then big enough to gain the effect I was looking for and a Funko Pop Slimer, I just liked the style. I put them in place and it all worked really well.
Then just came the fumbling around in the dark trying to put El Wire to the Ghostbusters proton packs. It was a long process and I did knock a few of the Lego men over and even my backdrop fell on to the scene. After a few tests shots it all looked great but there was a lot of empty negative space at the sides of the cinema, I often improvise on these bits and are not in the original plan, I got some ghosts from google on my phone and waved them in to the shot, theres a couple in there and another little easter egg if anyone can spot it? The final touch was the portal opening up above the cinema.
I'm quite happy with the end result and would like to do more in this area using Ghostbusters Lego and possible merge it with my other Lego light painting series.
