Game Over, Man! - a photo on Flickriver

Game Over, Man!

Photos of my Aliens-themed Last Stand contest entry without the mood lighting, so that you can see more of the details.

This is the best shot I could get of the two Colonial Marines. You can see the discarded M240 incinerator and shoulder lamp in front of the foreground Marine--originally I was going to have three figs back to back in a triangle, with one of them spraying an arc of TLC flame pieces from the flamethrower which would be lit by a blacklight. I couldn't get the effect to look the way I want and I didn't have another armor or helmet built anyway, so I put it on the floor to add detail to the scene.

I actually ran out of ports on the two eLite Basics that I used to light the scene, which is why I didn't use a drilled-out shoulder lamp with an LED on the second Marine. I put the Smartgunner's hero prop lamp on the floor to at least acknowledge that he should have one.

It's only really apparent in one of the photos, but I shined a blacklight directly on the motion tracker to "charge" the screen before taking the first shot so that it would glow.
