Knights left unattended
« on: September 04, 2009, 00:29:20 »
Well with the recent purchase of knights and the review pictures the knights were left unattended . Like unsupervised children they seem to get "ideas" . Two of these were of world domination and drinking .


"Ah" Sir Garth said with a grown  "you see that small out post, lets take it" .

"Sounds good to me" Hermi said excitedly



With the quick action of Nick the Brave the attack was challenged immediately



The two powerful knights, both armed with their heavy axes began the dual



But unfortunately for Nick, Sir Garth was a bit more motivated. Nick could tell with every strike.



Then suddenly a large spear came crashing into the post. "Ha ha ha " laughed Hermi. Nicks trusted assistant took a sever hit. 



But things were not looking good for Nick either. A heavy hitting blow deflected by his helmet



And as it deflected off his helmet, Sir Garth's ax shered off the beloved decoration. "No, my unicorn" Nick cries out



His cries were quickly silences with a back handed blow from Sir Garth's shield "ooph"



Then as Sir Garth readies his final blow



"I just muusst reach oooh the aaaah triggerrrr blaaaa" Nick's assistant queasily said in his final moment



"POOOF !" with a silencing sound the heavy spear sails through the air striking Sir Garth



"Nooooo why you !" Hermi yells with great anger as he pulls out his sword



Hermi charges Nick



Nick is able to muster up some last energy to not only pull out his sword but to also defend himself



but his energy is short lived and the weight of the sword is too much



He is able to duck one last time as he looses his cape



Now his only salvation is to try and run for it, yelling "aaaaaah somebody help me, please"



Before he is even able to get to the stairs Hermi's blow is so strong it slices like a hot knife through butter



and again to the other arm



Then as Nick pleads with Hermi "Please I will " Hermi does not even let him finish the sentence



Triumphantly Hermi raises the new flag exhausted, and sad but very thirsty 



"Ahhhh now that was why we came here" Hermi said victoriously

Thanks Bill, I had to go to the TRU for it and I wanted blood red and not some emasculated color . This was the only red they had and it was in a 6 lbs bucket . I have enough blood for a huge battle. I wonder if there is something else that would also work and would be more of a black red like real blood . It would be better if it was more like Picture-Tack as Play-Doh is not easy to mold in detail. I guess i need to go shopping again

PS:  I just can not remember if we agreed it is easier to read if the text is above or below the picture ?

Great camera angles and action shots Ras! You've really done well getting the focus on the action and getting a sense of movement into every shot. Shame 3 of the 4 protagonists are now daisy food! I feel sorry for Nick's assistant who hardly gets a look in, and remains the unknown warrior.

The Play-doh blood works for me, it's not a product I have much experience of, I used to use Plasticine for temporary modelling, but it tended to stick too well and be hard to remove afterwards. I don't think they did a blood red colour anyway.

Text above the pictures works well, you read the description and then enjoy the picture. I've tended to do text below, but as long as a storyteller remains consistent within the story either works.

Greate story and well photographed, especially the work with depth of field.

I wonder if this thread also needs a disclaimer for children, showing violent content and especially extreme customization ...  ???

That's true, Martin, but it leaves room for the sequel!   :lol:

Great story and photography, Ras.  I think Martin has said all that can be said about the technical standards and artistic effect and I echo his words wholeheartedly.  I'd only add that the use of a simple, out of focus background so that the background becomes irrelevant is a master stroke.

Thank you very much Martin

Thank you Jo , and you know i did think about it ( the disclaimer )  ::)

Playmofire , thank you as well . I also really like the outcome of picking one object that draws you attentions and the rest of the scene is still there just all blurry


Karim , thanks, I am glad you like gory knights but my influence is more of a Monty Python-ish , I really do not like that Quin Tartino kid

Just some stats for aspiring story tellers- It took less than an hour to shoot and about 1/2 hour to post so please people get those cameras shooting
