The Life of Lead: A short film
« on: December 12, 2018, 05:02:30 AM »
This short film shot at Eureka Miniatures in Melbourne, Australia shows the life of a typical toy soldier from birth to death.

Eureka would like to thank Kurtis Lowden for his excellent work. Tell us what you think.

Lovey stuff.

Edit: Watching it again the tempo and the link to what you see on screen and the music is done very well.

Nic,

You know, despite your vehement protestations to the contrary, I saw no evidence of Stormy Daniels’ presence in that film. I suppose we have to wait for the sequel.

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I like it too.
Very interesting film showing some process in making figures not easily available.
Well done Nic!

It is all thanks to Kurtis, he is going to be a director to keep an eye on.

That was fun. I imagine all those battle noises myself when my figures play a wargame.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

That was a very nicely made film - enjoyable. Is that a Romanoff casting machine? Looks very like mine with a few differences.
