Great tutorial! However I think for Tip #1 you need to add "Ask land owner's permission" as it's illegal to take anything (not even a twig) from a local park, wood or forest in UK. Don't want your followers getting in trouble, however slight a possibility that may be.

Thanks for the kind words Jason, glad you liked it! It's a bit long, but we tried to cover the basics on everything. I would have loved to gone with more explosions... but I also didn't want to burn down the house! The wife would kill me! ;)

I'm just starting out doing action figure photography and this was really helpful. though I do need to find a different editing program since photoshop can get a bit expensive.

[@krishisel5316]

If you really want the perfect lens for this, look into the old Nikon Macro 85mm tilt shift lens. I own it and it is phenomenal. I haven't done any toy photography yet, but I'm thinking about giving it a go and I think that lens is perfect for this.

[@MarkCantPark]

Really well made dude! Keep up the good work!

[@ppmagazine]

Thanks Mark, appreciate the kind words!

Thanks for a great video, i've been thinking about doing this for awhile now, and this was great for someone looking to start out in this type of photography.

Lovely explanation and demonstration. The water droplets on his face and clothes gives the scale away though. Maybe a very fine misting spray would help.

[@HerveM66]

You are great! I like your enthusiasm even if I am not much interested in the subject of this video ! Have a nice evening!

[@ppmagazine]

Thanks for the kind words Hervé, stick around, we have plenty of other subjects to share, hopefully we'll find a good one for you. If not, let us know the kind of photography you're into, inspiration always helps us out!

When l was 15 l made a future city with old plastic packinging and dinky toy cars with tiny head lights glued into the back of them to make um look like future different looking cars going forward.l took photos of it on my mothers disppossible camera.looking back l was years ahead of my time.That was 1994.

[@ppmagazine]

Haha, brilliant, that sounds like an insane level of dedication! Maybe it's time for a revisit!

[@pedromartinez-jp3js]

What kind of camera should i look for with a low budget ?

[@eugenebricks]

many thanks for sharing my friend

[@hamham3108]

FOR ANYONE WONDERING THE FIGURE IS ZAVALA FROM DESTINY 1 AND 2.

[@BoydFilms]

His name is Zavala from Destiny and whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars.

[@petermerritt9733]

Fuckin hilarious! How many times did we hear that line?!

[@owenbell6155]

Great job

[@TimMcTim1888]

Indeed.

[@rogurishimaru]

That's a tough guy! Explosions and fire around him and he doesn't even blink

[@dwizayekti]

thanks for information

[@sonyboy1689]

Would like to try something like that, my problem is that i need money to buy a camera lol

[@ppmagazine]

Haha, that is a problem! Hopefully one day, even a camera that costs £200 second hand will be more than enough for this!

[@wyvrnn]

@@ppmagazine can you recommend one at around 200-300 pounds?

[@youngatnaruto]

How about cheap explosives for stop motion

[@lucahasselberger7114]

Niceee

So let me get this straight in your tips video you say "do not do this" Then you proceed to launch fireballs in a confined space on top of a flammable cardboard box Brilliant

[@r2witco]

You had me till you added artificial rain and smoke. Both are easily created practically. I’m really tired of over produced photos.

[@logan666999]

thank you for that :) i was looking for comment like this... i dont understand how people still call this "photography" :/

[@AlexJacksonSmith]

That looked like you really enjoyed yourself... :) A.,

[@ppmagazine]

Haha thanks Alex, it was great. First time I've tried anything like that... won't be the last!

[@livelysoldier]

RIP Lance Reddick

[@NineTailedW0lf]
