EVEN MORE!! Pg 5 - Kuhn Global BLUE SCREEN - MR Falcon

[Kuhn Global]

http://www.resinilluminati.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7290&d=1205604577

Well? With the new stand beneath the MR Falcon, I was finally able to grab some photos! LOLOLOLOL. The photo above is real, not composited. All I did was 'clone-out' the stand. ;)

I used different angles of the “blue light” to create some interesting shadows.

Here are the 31 or so photos …

[R L Bleecker]

Lovin' it! First pix is the best!

[Moorcat]

look ma...no hands!

[Eagle-1]

As usual Mr. Kuhn........

EXCELLENT!

Put a couple TIE's in those shots and do some laser bolts!

"We ain't outta this yet , kid"!

:D

Rob.

[Eagle-1]

TOO LATE!!!!!

I did it for you! Blue screen editing at it's best!

(I apologize Kurt.....Just pullin' your leg. ;) If this makes ya' mad, I'll get rid of it....)

Rob.

[Kuhn Global]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL... on the contrary my friend... it makes me smile! :D

I halfway expected some joke composites to emerge from that shot anyway. LOLOLOL... very nice! :D And ... THANK YOU ALL! :D

[Eagle-1]

:D

Whew!

Glad you didn't get mad! I was actually a little anxious. Banning abilities and all that! ;)

Editing it wasn't a problem at all, by the way, with the "bluescreen".

Well, not for me anyway. I'm gifted.

guffaw

Rob.

Needless to say, Fantastic.. It just looks in its element, and I'm sure all who worked on it would gain immense delight seeing it in this context.

This is my take on it

No, it's not saying Kuhn has Sith powers. I just feel this is a place where magic happens and so I wanted to communicate my delight about it. ;)

[beeblebrox666]

That looks familiar.

[Talen]

at this rate we could composite our own Death Star battle, the only thing left is a turbo laser tower, Darth's Tie , Y-Wing. We could digitally add in the Death Star surface

[Kuhn Global]

LOLOLOLOL... you are so right Talen! ;)

rider...... DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE! You did it again! Amazing man! :D

LOLOLOLOL... INDEED my friend! LOLOLOLOLOLOL... ;)

[robn1]

Here's my lame assed attempt at compositing :rolleyes:


http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r219/robn1/Millennium%20Falcon/KurtMFComp.jpg

No Photoshop chroma key here, just crude selection tools.

[rider]

When I saw that angle, I thought of the same backdrop robn1, kudos for finding it and great job. Looks great.

[Kuhn Global]

FANTASTIC robn1!!! :D When taking that photo, that was exactly the what I was thinking of! ;)

Thank You! :D

Whoa.

[Eagle-1]

RKW,

Is that a composite of Kuhn's bluescreen photos!

If so, boys, we have a winner!

However, if it's just a screen grab from the movie......

Cheater.

[Kuhn Global]

HOLY RANGER BISCUITS!!! :eek::eek::eek:

I keep thinking of the Harlem Globetrotters theme.

[Kuhn Global]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.... you guys are KILLIN' ME! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I love it! LOLOLOLOL... The Deth Starr! LOLOLOLOLOL Most excellent Bob! :D

Jerry,.. I spotted something in that photo that really got my attention right away!!! ;)

The man in the center of the screen on the street looks to be carrying a camera from those days. My 'spotting' of what is wrong is with him. He has a MF and a 1701 above him and all he appears to be doing is checking out his own feet! LOLOLOLOL

Max.... The Harlem Globetrotters! LOLOLOLOLOL... Very kewl! LOLOLOLOL

To quote Charles (Trip) Tucker III,... "SON OF A BITCH!" Oops! LOLOL I see Bob beat me to it! LOLOLOL

It seriously looks like it belongs there!!! I didn't even give it a second glance! LOLOLOLOL... I guess hiding something in plain site really works! LOLOLOLOL

Good one Jerry! :D

How are you getting along with the weather there?

[LastBattlestar]

I just looked at the pics again today. DETH STARR....that cracks me up!

Kurt 'DETH STARR' Daddy.....WORD, brother!:D

Mike, Oz

[R L Bleecker]

^ Yeah... I shoulda Photoshopped some Imperial Bling in there...YO!

[beeblebrox666]

How are you getting along with the weather there?
Raining in the daytime and freezing up at night. Went out to start my truck this morning and it had slid down to the end of the driveway! :lol:

[Kuhn Global]

Kurt 'DETH STARR' Daddy.....WORD, brother!:D

Mike, Oz


LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL... agreed Mike... too funny! LOLOLOLOL

Bob... bling would REALLY srpuce that photo up! LOLOLOLOLOL

[R L Bleecker]

Well, I didn't do the 'bling thing', but I did whip up this nice unseen screencap. The background plate I shot back home. The mountains to the East are the Sweet Grass Hills in northern Toole County Montana. Since I was a boy growing up there, the surrounding area has always looked to me like some Star Wars planet. I think the Falcon is a natural fit. I sure miss my home sometimes. It's really beautiful in its own way.

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc159/OutOfTimeLLP/falconCSwidesm.jpg

[rider]

Beautiful. :cool:

[Kuhn Global]

HOLY COW!!! It IS Tatooine! LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Very kewl Bob! :D Nicely Done... and beautiful scenery too!

[R L Bleecker]

HOLY COW!!! It IS Tatooine! LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Very kewl Bob! :D Nicely Done... and beautiful scenery too!


The scenery of home is one of the things that drew me to Star Wars so much. I could totally identify with Luke's childhood on Tatooine and the scenes there , especially the canyons, reminded me of scenes like that above. That particular place is only a few miles south of the Montana/Alberta border.

I'll see if I can get some more of these done.

[Boxster]

I love the Falcon, always have and always will!

Lovely shots and nice adobe work on the Falcon in Montana!

[R L Bleecker]

Thanks, Ben!

That is SWEEEEET! :D Thank you again!!!!!! :D:D:D:D

Thank you for the kind words Carlos! :D I may re-do the Falcon. I haven't decided yet. ;)

[Boxster]

Darn, I so did not know Kurt is a Sith! Nice works!

I enjoy looking at all these adobed works. May I make a request to adobe the Falcon doing a low pass on board a carrier or maybe tall buildings?

Thanks in advance!

More composite fun:

Screw that "someday" shit and make it so immediately coz that's kick arse work you got there! Damn, that's nice!

B

[Andrew C.]

Thanks for the nice words! :)

I must mention that the background wasn't created from scratch, it's 'borrowed' from the HD version of TESB, but doesn't show the Falcon. I thought it lent itself very well to inserting Kurt's model.

Something kept bothering me, but I couldn't put my finger on it - now I know: the engine glow was missing! So here it is, with the glow added:

http://www.yourupload.de/images/080316/sE9BIaw9.jpg

I've started to scan my slides, negatives and pictures, but getting my site up will take a while. I'll post an invite when it is up. ;)

Sorry for my vanishing and reappearing pictures, my picture hoster is having server problems and my uploads to his site keep dropping off the radar and coming back on again. He wrote me his problem is solved, so I'm hoping they will stay now.

Andrew... no worries. :) You may always use our thumbnail upload option and use that link to post your full sized photos. :) That way they will always be right here for ya! :D

BTW... I LOVE THAT LAST COMPOSITE!!! You were right! Adding that engine burst really made a difference! Genius my friend! :D VERY Nice!

Here is a new composite I was able to do entitled... "A Princess's Rescue"

After their daring break-out from the Death Star, The Millennium Falcon is pursued by a squadron of four TIE Fighters. However, even though the danger still existed, only the Princess knows it is a ruse for the escapees to believe they escaped successfully. The truth is that they were being tracked to their home base on the 4th moon of Yavin…. where Governor Tarkin, and Darth Vader plan destroy the Rebellion once and for all!


Using the blue screen photos of the Master Replicas studio scale Millennium Falcon, and the amazing TIE Fighter builds of R.L. Bleecker’s from the NICE-N Model Designs kits, I was able to produce this recognizable scene.


THANKS FOR LOOKING!!! :D:D:D

[NAZGÛL]

Wow Kurt!!! That could very well be straight from ILM, the blurry TIES makes it perfect. I love how you take the movie stuff one step further, showing new angles and details.:notworthy:

I was looking at "Vaders Revenge" (http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=13759) the other day and I just have to tell you I like that one too (I know its off topic). Its cool that you managed to combine the EU with the movie looks! :)

Have you made posters of your work?

[79 daytona]

WOW!!! Very COOL!!! Kurt.:D

[Hackcore]

:eek::eek: WOW!!! COOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL!!! Damned cool Kurt! My new desktop!

[Scott Graham]

Great composite Kurt!

[Kuhn Global]

Wow fellas! :D Thank you for the kind words! You made my day! :D

I am trying my hardest to learn from my mentors here. :D I still have a long way to go in what I do with these, but I am having fun. :D

Posters.... that is a killer idea! I think they should be sized enough for a decent sized poster if printed out. That would be very kewl to see! LOLOL

Thanks again guys! :D

I have a few more that I am working on right now... I will probably post another in this thread again tomorrow. ;)

[NAZGÛL]

Yeah having a Star Wars poster looking like the real deal, but with your own models... man thats cool. :D

I bet you could do that for others to if you wanted.

Looking forward to the new ones. :)

[79 daytona]

I agree a poster would be very COOL!!! I know i would love to have one.

[Kuhn Global]

Thanks again for looking,.. and the kind words guys! :D You make my day! :D

Here is another... entitled "The Run Home"

Inspired by a composite I once saw that Richard_2001 did on the Modeling Board Resin Illuminati (http://www.resinilluminati.com) (in which he utilized my RED 5 (http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=3500) build from Matt Meyer) I decided to place a vision of my own into 'still' motion...


Just after Luke successfully shot the proton torpedo's into the depths of the Death Star, the remaining attack force, plus the Millennium Falcon speed away as fast as possible toward their home base on the 4th moon of Yavin in order to escape the vast explosion that is about to happen!

[robn1]

Those are cool shots! And I like seeing the red Y in there too.

[Hackcore]

WOW!! Beautiful work Kurt!! It´s cool to see red jammer in action ;):D

[NAZGÛL]

Great shot kid! That was one shot in a million!

It IS weird how odd it looks to see a red Y-wing. That must be a signal that youre watching Star Wars stuff to much huh? ;)

Looking great and once again, something new. A new angle. :) More!

[Kuhn Global]

I bet you could do that for others to if you wanted.

Looking forward to the new ones. :)

Thanks again guys! :D

[JediPuju]

Thanks all!

Kurt - PM will be en route shortly! It would be an honor to have my little compo on your gallery!
I did this when this thread was much more active but I never really had the courage to post anything here really I think because of a certain amount of hero worship to all you fine craftsmen! but Ive come out of my shell a bit more recently on the modelling forums, As Its great to chat with such talented and informed people.

I cant thank all of you guys enough for making this forum available and for all the truly fantastic and inspiring work that goes on here. It makes me very happy to contribute anything I can.

Now I just need to pluck up some more courage to post some of my meagre builds....

Cheers!

Never be afraid to try.

The first shot is killer! The Falcon is nice but I really dig that hat! :)

[AviadorOscuro]

Hey, excellent pictures on there!!!

[dontexist]

wow these are great shots man.
re creating movie scenes with your own models.
awesome to make a poster in put it up.

Now to admit my absolute ignorance.
How does it work..?
you take a photo of your model, with a blue background right..?
then the background is a different shot.

how do you blend them..?

how does this differ from just cutting around your model, and doing a cut and paste from one digital image to the other..?

sorry for showing my ignorance.

again your shots are HOT !!!! Damn HOT !!!

[Kuhn Global]

Thanks fellas! :) My learning process is never ending, but it is great to hear such kind words from fantastic artists like you all. :D

dontexist.... thank you! :) Indeed it is the same as cutting the blue away from the model (called keying) and then placing the model in a shot that matches the lighting and angle. ;) The blue, just like green, gives you a very clean edge to deal with. ;) Now... sir... You show no ignorance at all my friend! Inquiry is the highest form of learning for those who wish to do so. You and I have this in common. ;) :D Thank you again for the kind words! :D

[dontexist]

Man, you inspire me to try blue next time I take photo's of my models.
also compared to your work, my modelling is very amaturish..

[Kuhn Global]

Thank you for the kind words my friend. :) However... I am ONLY the photographer and owner of these great pieces.... it is the artists around you here that have done all the fantastic work you see. :) If you were to see my work... look HERE (http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=9041) .... and some of that is not all me.... you can see that my level of art ability is only beginner level... at least the parts that I did. ;) Viewing your works my friend... is like a MAJOR step up toward professionalism. ;) You aren't giving yourself enough credit my friend. :) However... I do love how humble you are amongst these fantastic artists... of which you are one. :)

Thank you again for the kind words of my work.. and the artists that did the models I photograph. I am certain they appreciate it as well.

Keep up the GREAT work you have already shown you can do. :D

[dontexist]

I am very humbled by your words dude. I'm just a hack builder by far..
