Guys, I don't have a gunship and I could really do with some images of a Gunship that match the shots shown on my storyboard. Ideally the images need to be shot outside with the sun at the correct angles.

If anyone can post images I'd be really greatful.

No promises, but I can try - I'm no pro model photographer.  What kind of background are you wanting?  (I'm assuming you'll be wanting to bluescreen it, after all.) I'll see what I can do later this week, as I *really* need to finish up my sniper team muy pronto.  I have the "Lucky Lekku" and the "flying mouth" gunships - which would you prefer?  I also assume you want pretty much just the gunship in the shot, as near to filling the screen as possible?  Do you want troops in the bay or an empty bay?  Cargo doors open or closed?

Doc,

Images come out far better if they are taken outside with the sun at the correct angles, that way I don't need to rely on filters too much in the editing process and the light looks more realistic.

In terms of background, don't worry about blue screen, if you take good enough images I can cut the image of the ship out without a problem. If the weather is good where you are just take the shots at sunset.

I'd love to be able to use CGI software but I've never used it before. Plus the effects look more "real" if I use iimages of real vehicles.

Good weather is relative, I guess.  We've been something like 4 weeks with no rain, so photography-wise I guess its good weather.  I'll see what I can get for ya later this week.

naturally, a front moved in and today we have solid overcast with occasional light rain - not quite Scottish-style.  ;D

I've had a bit too much time on my hands lately, but its the calm before the storm, I've got a large contract cming up so I'm trying to et Darkchild finished before all hell breaks loose...

Here is my favourite image of the day, Hell, Photoshop rocks, can you imagine if I'd made a diorama that big just for one image?

If I could do that, I would never leave the house, HB.
Nice image!
