Star Wars with LEGO pieces, baking powder and BBQ
A Star Wars fan has combined his love of photography and LEGO to recreate and shoot stunning scenes from the sci-fi series.
Dan Sands, 34, was raised playing with the famous Danish building blocks as a child, and later in life he developed an interest in outdoor photography.
And now he's combined his passion for movies, his love for LEGO, and his passion for photography to create stunning visuals that will appeal to Star Wars fans.
The Daily Mail notes that the stunning footage, created entirely from Lego pieces in Dan's home, documents some of the most iconic scenes from the legendary sci-fi series.
He also created an amazing array of special effects in many of his images using everyday household items such as baking powder, old bike light and barbecue smoke.
Computer programmer Dan from Portland, Dorset admitted he was a little confused when the shutdown happened and wondered what I would do now?
After a little thought, he decided to use all his hobbies and passions to create his own creative world centered on Star Wars characters, events and footage, using LEGO bricks.
Using the objects around his house, he was able to create some amazing images that he never imagined would spread so quickly.
For example, Dan used ash from a barbecue stove to create atmospheric smoke, baking powder to resemble snow and an old bicycle light to distribute lighting and shadows.
Dunn stressed that there was no fancy studio or lighting used, and the first innovations were the use of some old pizza boxes, a hair dryer and simple household items.
Being able to create imaginative images using everyday items was both a goal and a personal challenge for him.
The images he posted on social media include recreated scenes from "The Force Awakens" as the space shuttle villain Kylo Ren sails into the dark.
He also created other scenes from the movie The Empire Strikes Back, and he felt as if he was interacting with the heroes of the movie with that picture that he felt proud after taking it because it embodied the entire legendary scene in an innovative way, which made him feel that he was watching the movie or participating in acting with his heroes.
Dan also embodied, with his light effects and simple tools, the march of the famous Stormtroopers, and once it was set and the perfect picture was taken, his fans and followers shared it on the social networking site.
He pointed out that his site attracts thousands of fans of the Star Wars series, which they loved in the cinema, and now remember them in Lego formations and innovative effects.
