Hence I'm one of those movie nerds who pay attention to the best Oscar for art direction. That painting even looks to me like a page torn from an old classic book illustrated by N.C.

The part where the cyclops got crushed in the door frightened the **** out of me at the time :D. <br />Some of the work they put into building minature models like this is amazing. For those into Harry Potter, there's a whole minature model of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter studios that they used for the films - only that's not so minature either. It's phenomenal is what is it...DRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352970077497112668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-27806865101184954602018-03-22T05:22:55.402-06:002018-03-22T05:22:55.402-06:00A lot of work for a mediocre movie.

The Death Star trench was a pretty large constructed piece, and the Death Star itself was a model. Which they blew up for that scene in the movie. It was a dicey thing because they didn't have the funds to recreate it if the shot had failed.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I didn't like Krull, even at 13. It was great right up until the ending, which I thought was one of the stupidest things I'd ever seen. I still think that.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-33513981184416923692018-03-21T18:08:17.833-06:002018-03-21T18:08:17.833-06:00It is amazing what they build for the movies.
