JopieK Posted January 4, 2014 Very nice job! What kind of LED's did you use? Did you also give them an effect?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
francismatteo Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) @all: Thank you guys... Kneecap Buster: I'm using 4 LED flashlights. No photoshop only lighting effects and proper timing :). Will post photos later. I'm planning also to tweak some bricks with LEDs. Edited January 5, 2014 by francismatteo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShadowWolfHount Posted January 13, 2014 Looks really good, like the tree in the background and the reandom atlantis minifigure. Another thing is that i love how the light is coming out from the fire in a dark place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

francismatteo Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) @all: Thanks for the kind words. Here's another one for TTGAS February FLASH MOC TTGAS Flash MOC: Into the Woods, Wrong Treasure by FrancisMatti, on Flickr @JopieK: here are the tools that I'm using for the lighting effects. So sorry for the delay response. Edited February 22, 2014 by francismatteo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hrafnblod Posted February 22, 2014 Really nice work, captures the warmness of a campfire really well considering LEDs tend to have a cooler sort of lighting about them. Also unrelated to the writing, is it sad I never actually thought to put cherries in the tree leaves like that? It's so obvious, but it never occurred to me; granted, I have very few cherries in my collection to have given the consideration to. Just weird that such no-brainer ideas sometimes never pop into my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WooliestSteam Posted February 23, 2014 Wow, that's some great stuff. The LEDs really give out a nice warm glow in this MOC. I also love the way it lights up the front of the minifigs, that really sold it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ER0L Posted February 24, 2014 I don't quite get this, I guess. What exactly is the effect of the LEDs? Are third party parts required for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 25, 2014 Very nice camping scene! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
francismatteo Posted February 26, 2014 @Hranfblod, @WooliestSteam and @LEGO Train 12 Volts: Thanks for your kind words :D @ER0L: as for LED's heat, they are cool enough that they are not causing any damage to my LEGO. I bought them in Electronic Supplies Shop at a very cheap price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ER0L Posted February 26, 2014 I was just wondering if there would be a similar effect when using the old 9 Volt lights which have a warm glow, too. With that, third party parts could be omitted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
francismatteo Posted February 27, 2014 @ER0L: never tested an old 9 volt lights, but I'm looking for options that makes them a little dimmer. I also tried using the old christmas tree lights but it generated lots of heat. I'm afraid it might cause damage to my LEGO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
