At the Movies

5/9/2022

As I've mentioned before, my youngest son and his partner have an 'Immersion Room' movie studio. Well, they've been suggesting I should bring some of my dolls so we could play with them in a virtual environment. So, yesterday on Mother's Day, I packed up my three knights, their horses, plus Miho and my two dragons, and we headed on over to their movie studio.

We started by creating a raised mountaintop set to pose the dolls on. Then I positioned my knights...

Then Mike started playing with backgrounds....

Each time he changed the background, he'd also change the lighting so it would be the right colour to match the background, as well as come from the proper direction....

Some scenes worked better than others.

Then we switched to Miho and the dragons, and really had some fun....

I took a LOT of photos, and haven't decided yet how I want to share them here, especially with that toynewz website continuing to steal every one of my posts off my Antique Lilac site.

But yesterday's adventure was just too exciting not to share...

Your photos and costumes are beyond wonderful! Eye-candy at it's best! It's a shame that someone is using them, and claiming the credit. It's beyond my level of operation, but I understand there is something called a "Watermark" that can be added to the digital version of each of your photos. It cannot be removed by another party. Maybe your son could help with the technology. Please keep posting, this site is a joy.

Thanks. I suppose a watermark in all my Blog post photos might be a good idea, but I'd still prefer my photos be without one in the main part of my website. I hope they can't steal things from there.

Wow, very cool, what a marvelous room. I hadn't heard of an immersion room before. Love all the scenes you created.

It's the newest technology in film production, since anything can be brought up on the giant screens. We watched one of their promo shoots a few months ago, and the filming started in a regular modern condo, then after the actors changed costumes it went into a jungle sequence, and after that an actor put on an astronaut suit and went to Mars.

Wow, this is amazing! This takes "behind the scenes" to a new level.

I could see animation being a future project.

Thanks for sharing these photos.

I'm definitely not interested in animation. Way too much work for far too little result. And what would be the point anyways? This will never be more than an occasional opportunity for a special photo shoot.

The toynewz site is hosted by GoDaddy in the USA, so you should be able to file a copyright claim with GoDaddy at https://www.godaddy.com/legal/agreements/trademark-copyright-infringement

There's a guide on how to do it here: https://www.artistic-license.org/takedowns/godaddy-takedown-process/

If that doesn't work, you can still get the site taken off Google, so that no one can find the site with a google search : https://support.google.com/legal/troubleshooter/1114905?hl=en

I hope you can get it taken down!

Thank you for all the links. Now to see if I can find my way through all the legal jargon.

We went on the ToyNewz site, and they've been copying my Blog posts for the past four months already. It makes me feel hesitant about posting anything now, so it would be great if I can get them to stop.

These are photos are stunning! What fantastic effects. Definitely an idea for when your knees are no longer up to crawling around in the snow!
But they still don't have the same effect as when your characters are actually in the real scene, like the beautiful flower meadows you've been sharing recently.

Thanks. I agree, nothing beats the real thing, although getting down on the ground is getting increasingly more difficult. But it is certainly effective for places I'd never be able to take them. And just for fun.

Fantastic and so very, very cool. Love these pics!

That said - that's awful that that site is stealing your posts and photos. Elizabeth Kelly's suggestions / links sound great and hopefully will work for you.

Does the thief site also copy comments left on your posts? Hopefully not.

Amazing and wonderful fun!!! What a great way to spend Mother's Day.

The photos are all beautiful, but the ones with Miho are especially nice.

I hope toynewz is taken down and/or removed from all the search engines out there!
