Topic: Set Ideas

Ok so, I am thinking of making a short (or not so short) fight scene, and I am going to be testing running, masking and general fighting a few times each, and then I will be putting them together, and building up to the final thing. But, I'm wondering what I should do for the set. I suppose I should tell you my idea:

Ok, so there are 3 guys, outside a room, ready to go in and kill a loada people in there (I know, theres no story). Once they're ready, they blow open the door, and go in, an fight and shoot stuff etc y'know. So I am wondering what I should have for the set (bricks, colours schemes, general design). I want there to be a little outside bit where they start, then bust into the room and thentheres the out-break of chaos. So I'm wondering what I should have for the inside. I was thinking of pillars for cover (like Keshen's) but I am not sure.

Any ideas for the inside (what I should have in there) and colors, bricks and any other features I could have?

Cheers

Re: Set Ideas

Well, outside should be a dark or light grey, while the inside should be a earth toned colour, like tan. The inside design depends on weather you want it to be a house/office/warehouse/Santa's toilet. If a house, you should have couches, chairs, a TV, a cupboard and other things you find at home. If you want your minifigs to have cover, I suggest a few couches or a big chair. In a office, you would want a few desks, computers, cubicles and plants. Put a few doors to show some office rooms. A warehouse would have lots of wooden boxes, and wooden support stands too. There would be a large amount of space. try placing some machinery here and there, like a forklift. the inside walls would be a light or dark grey.

You can do anything, just have fun while doing it.

Re: Set Ideas

Although I hate mega bloks, if it's for walls and stuff it should look OK.

So here's the thing, I've A: Lost interest, and B: have no time to animate anymore. Expect little from me in the future. WIP projects have been pretty much abandoned and my LEGO collection is boxed up. No, you can't have it. mini/tongue But do not fear, I may return to it one day.

Re: Set Ideas

Yeah, I've had these sets for ages so I thought I might aswell

Re: Set Ideas

Alright, so, I have made a basic building (just simple 3 walls atm, will make a 4th.) but Im now wondering what to put in it.

I was thinking some pillars and maybe a bunch of these:

Also I was thinking of buying this: (I wanted to get it anyway, it isnt specifically for this scene)

Is there any other suggestions that I should put in? (I have gone with the warehouse)

Re: Set Ideas

put  tires and Items inside the crates, and also put space police stickers on the tops of crates.

Re: Set Ideas

Crates, yes.

Also, I'd just make random trash sit around, just to make it look dirty.

Re: Set Ideas

And in one scene have the crates blow up and stuff flies out. mini/bigsmile

Re: Set Ideas

I'd have the walls be white, but very decorated w/ couches, pictures, and bookcases ect.

If its a warehouse mabye put a garage sort of thing next to the outside door and mabye have them blow down the garage door instead.Garage door as in where all the trucks unload at wearhouses
