City In The Clouds

One of the more beautiful locations in the Star Wars trilogy (yes, I said trilogy)  was Bespin. Realized almost exclusively through matte paintings originally, it was unique and lovely. It's too bad Han got frozen, Luke got the crap beat out of him, C-3P0 got blowed up real good and Lando went out of business (assumed). It probably put a bit of a damper on the place.

Rooftop Turtles

OK kids, it's time for a visual effects/LEGO mashup. This MOC employs a technique called forced perspective, where items of diminishing scale are placed to give a greater sense of distance. The use of color in the background is excellent as well, implying what's called aerial perspective where things become less contrasty with distance because of particulate matter in the air. Oh, and hey...turtles.

Turtles getting funky on Saturday night, NYC rooftop style yo!
