Lego cinema - Casablanca

[ethnosax]

I'm part of a group that's doing a weekly photo challenge this year. Each week, the leader selects a theme, and then we take photos on that theme and post them to share with the group (I'm collecting mine in this Flickr album: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjQWTb6W). Last week's theme was "black and white." Being a film buff, I thought of classic movies. I picked the finale from Casablanca to recreate with Lego.

I've built Lego movie vignettes before (some are here: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjEa3hb2), so this time I challenged myself to build a setup that could be photographed to look like an audience in the theater watching a film. To get the right perspective, the setup ended up looking kind of weird. Here are some shots:

This is the photo I used for the final picture, as it came out of the camera:

I took that photo, cropped it, selected just the movie screen and made it grayscale, adding some grain, and it was finished:
