Also, here is a sort of teaser promo vid of sorts a friend made before I shipped the suit to New Zealand for the shoot.

Beautiful armor, and great commercial. (Though I'm not convinced that was the best music they could have picked.)

Looks like they used your work for the hero shot to start with. Much nicer then "I made the chearleader costume for the chick who kicked the gladiator in the nads." :) Not certain that the armor is enough to justify buying a new TV for.

So, what is the studio doing with the armor now that the commercial is done? I hope it doesn't get boxed up and forgotten after all the work you put into it.

Beautiful work and it shines on film. Well done! The armor truly looks like "hero" armor from a LOTR movie.

Looks good. I think we supplied much of the other weapons, banners, armour and so on for the guys chasing your armour.

LOL, small world.

I can imagine the call. I need 10 Romans, 24 Scots, 15 Cheerleaders, a Minotar on a chariot, 4 repelling tactical guys and...

Not a small effort. Bunch of folks dressed out, even if they swapped costumes and spliced it together. Jumped car into police. CG TRex, Two helicopters. All for a minute and a half of screen time.

Glad they are spending the money I gave them for my SII well! :lol:

Small world indeed lol What is your company?
I guess you supply regularly to outfits like that? I should really get out to LA, it was dumb luck that my stuff was seen by them and picked up.

If I recall from an earlier thread Prince… you wanted the movie gig.
Your stuff is definitely first class and derives a place in video history.

Now, add some metal armour pieces to the leather art and I think it would be a fantastic.

I am working on your detail chisel stake and hammer as we speak.

Looks great; certainly better than a lot of fantasy armour I've seen in Hollywood movies.
