Title: 2016 Photocontest # 3. Theme: The movies
Post by: Birdie on July 29, 2016, 12:22:23
We've got a new theme and a new contest, ladies and gentlemen!  :D

The new Photocontest theme is: :munch:  The movies   :munch:

As usual, interpretation is completely up to you. A scene from a movie, clickies making movies, watching movies, movie posters, anything cinema-related... I'm excited about this one  ;D

Follow the Photocontest rules:

1) You may submit up to 2 photos.

2) You may start submitting your photos in this topic today and up until Friday 16th of September (= 7 weeks from now).
    Voting will take place from September 17 to September 24.

3) Photo shop and filters are allowed.
    Please take a moment to review all the rules: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=12037.0 (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=12037.0)

4) IMPORTANT: the photo must be originally used for the contest. Do not use an image that you have already used somewhere on the forum, and wait until the contest is finished before posting the image on the forum elsewhere.

5) There are prizes for the winner to choose from. Here's the list, postage is free: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=14268.0 (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=14268.0)

I'll be updating the list with more prizes because my collection has increased 'somewhat' over the years  ;D

Best of luck!!!

Hilarious pic Birdie!

I need to put my thinking cap on, or at the very least re-watch Gladiator...

Can't wait to see what you all come up with! I'm going to make another one in time, I hope.

That is never a bad thing  8-)

I've got another idea that I'm working on since it's just a tad more detailed.    ;D

Haha, excellent!

My private theory has always been that the entire movie was a hallucination of Farmer Hoggett's as he lay in bed with a fever or something. It makes more sense that way.

That's a great picture, Raven!

My private theory has always been that the entire movie was a hallucination of Farmer Hoggett's as he lay in bed with a fever or something. It makes more sense that way.

The film was IMO a travesty of Dick King-Smith's charming original book The Sheep Pig and the sequel to Babe, (Pig in the City) trebly so! But that's Hollywood for you!

Sorry for that outburst, films are often like Marmite (that reference may need explaining)!

Post by: Macruran on September 01, 2016, 13:41:34
Hm, I never knew it was a book. I'll have to read it to substantiate my crackpot theory.

Like Marmite? You mean they taste like boot-scrapings?

I'll be coming up with something soon, now that contests for August are over on other boards, & the diorama contest is done on the PCC. My biggest problem is that I don't watch movies in the theatre - I haven't "been to the movies" in about 15-20 years, & the only things I watch on the computer are films from the 1930s up through the 1960s, but not beyond. We have TV but I never watch it, & I'm not even sure if we have cable - we have what we need to get Internet & that's it.

I'm an old-time horror & sci-fi fan, so I'll probably have to come up with some sort of creature or BEM! Again, I don't like anything made after 1970, so maybe a '40s Frankenstein or a '50s radioactive beast.... I'm horribly behind the times, but modern gore & blood-n-guts sci-fi is not my thing.

The last movie I saw new in the theater was Ed Wood Jr. That was awhile back.

This is my YouTube site (The Radio Ghost) which has a lot of the things I like to get into:

I'm working on a second one (had thought that I would get it done today, but alas I had other projects that I had to complete first).

It's a Disney scene and is harder to do than I thought it was going to be   :D

It doesn't have to be a movie scene. Clickies involved with movies (watching, filming...) works too  ;)

Long rumored, now a reality:

(http://i.imgur.com/kH9uMal.jpg)

I'm reluctant to give this one a title, because Those Who Know, know. But I will relent and entitle it:

"Stwike him, centuwion!"  :lol:

Sorry about the crap quality, my camera is very cheap and I don't know what the best settings are. Also I didn't have armbands for all the troops, nor could I fit red capes on the common soldiewy due to their neckpieces.

EDIT: DANG IT I forgot to put the gold helmet on the centuwion like I planned to.

Ha! I love it Macruran! And not just because its my favorite film! Lots of lovely details there.

And as it happens, from the same film comes my own entry:
The Stoning Scene from Life of Brian

Hahaha Graham that is awesome! Absolutely spot on and hysterical! Great minds thinking alike. I don't remember a donkey from the movie - I'll need to watch it again!

Another vote for an LoB thread. I certainly need to reshoot mine, with better focus and perhaps tighter grouping.

Here's my second entry. I call it....

STRENGTH AND HONOR

(http://i.imgur.com/GrH01c8.jpg)

It's a scene from the film Gladiator. It's the moment when the Praetorians attack the gladiators' barracks and the gladiators rush out to fight them. It's a very brief scene but I had the figures for it so :)

Here's my reference shot:

'I haven't got time to go to no stoning- he's sick again' (woman carrying sick donkey speaking to the stone seller, scene before the stoning scene). I meant to include the giant boulder which the crowd use to crush the Official (at the end of the stoning scene). Never mind!

Love your Gladiator scene Macruran, great links to Roman theme!

Leefert- Circle of life- fantastic scene, great scenery!

Thanks Graham! I had to create the "rock" they are standing on and painted a spider monkey. It was fun to set up, and was my original idea for an entry but it took forever for me to get time to make it. My nephews tried to "help"

Alas, can't change the rules mid-contest  8}

Okay so if everyone found the time to make and post their photo, I will close the contest and start up the vote tonight (I haven't got the time right now).

Thanks for all the amazing entries  ;D
