DAY 11: Stumped!

I didn't really do much today because my dad is gone on a business trip and I needed him to record the lines for the next scene I'm filming. So I'm sort of stumped. I tried to find something else productive to do today, so I started rebuilding one of the street sets for the scene where That Darn Smoker gets put on a stretcher and taken away in a police car.

I couldn't find an actual LEGO stretcher and I didn't want to take the time and money to buy one off of Bricklink, so I had to improvise and make one myself. Basically I took a white 2 by 6 plate and stuck those little handle things on each end, so it looks pretty realistic. The problem is the spacing with the minifigs. When they stand normally while holding the stretcher they don't line up the studs on the ground, so that's a problem. It will only be a short scene of the people putting the stretcher in the car, so it probably won't be that hard. My main problem at the moment is finding enough black police suits and heads with sunglasses to be holding on to all four handles. I'm not one of those people who has any extreme overabundance of LEGO, so sometimes finding enough minifigs can present an issue.

Tomorrow I'll probably film the aforementioned scene and maybe start putting together the set for Scene 3 - the smoker jail. I'm also trying to find a good-looking and accurate minifig for the jail guard. So that's all what's going on, and I'm sort of in a fog as to what to do next. Yep.
