saxon film stars

[marie]

http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

these men had parts as saxons in the film 'King Arthur'
which is out in the cinema's a few months now
(think it may be a flop from what I have read about it, not too sure)http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif
(period 450 AD )

it was filmed on the mountains not too far from here last year
(so if you happen to see the film watch out for the scenery )
I got a few shots while they were between takes

http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif
what a sight to see some of them walking around the roadway
I had no idea the film was being made there , just saw them when passing
even saw a saxon using his mobile phone http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif
(saxaphone):lol:

they were really pleasant to chat to for a few minutes
it was near dusk
the place is called Hollywoodhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif
but it's a tiny little village squashed in between the beautiful mountain scenery.

they were really tired wearing the animal skins
and waiting around in between takes

Excellent! I love the circa 1,000AD Saxon on teh cell phone! :)

But it's the big guy thats all cuddly! :)

Yes,. the film industry is is exasperating in it's steady pace of "hurry up and wait".... one really must have patience.

Great shots....

I'll rent the DVD... ;)

Marie, Nice shots of these ancient looking Saxons. The detail in the first shot is superb. :D :D :D

CDS, Didn't they have cell phones in 1000 AD? :lol: :rolleyes: :lol:
-Bruce

[MegaTrixel]

Nice shots. That first guy looks like Gimli the dwarf in the Lord Of The Rings movies to me.

That saxon with a cell phone must be ordering a pizza for King Arthur... from Roundtable pizza of course!

i just saw the movie on DVD . . . i actually thought it was pretty good, although it was a bit different from previous interpretations of King Arthur

cool shots!

[RockOne]

(saxaphone):)

:lol: . Does that make him a saxonophonist ? :-)

Like the beard on the saxon in the first picture - looks like maybe a place where some of the resident bird photographers on this forum might find a nest :-) :-) :-)

I'll keep an eye out for the movie.

I saw this past weekend and thought it was a good movie also.

[stoneylonesome]

Great shots Marie, Now I'll have to get the DVD and see if I can recognize them. :lol: :lol:

[charlesu]

Very, very cool....

Now, how about in B&W, maybe darkened a bit and with some grain added?

[markubig]

Man, if i was dressed like that, i would totally go to a restaurant or even a fast-food joint and order my food in Saxon tongue :p :p :p :p

[Agaric]

I like the close up. Its almost intimidating in itself.

[dewmuw]

Marie, these guys all look like members of my family.

Where did the guys come from, it looks like the Saxon on the phone might be this guy:

Nice action shot Damian. Looks like in the heat of the battle one of them lost his helmet. Intense! :D

Nice series Damian! It looks like that COULD be the same guy as the one on the phone, but it's hard to say for sure.

Thanks. I enjoyed taking them?

[ssim]

Simply amazing shots Marie. I enjoyed them alot.

[flyfisher]

Fantastic period shots you nailed on the first shot good job

[marie]

Cyber, Bruce , Mega, Mark, Steve, jetmech, Sandy ,Charlesu , Agaric, Damian Sheldon and Flyfisher

very many thanks for all the nice replies.

the fellow with the mobile was much smaller in stature then the fellow you show here Damian.
I remember those pictures of yours . very nice capture

I was delighted to see some of you saw the film as I read so many reports saying 'not so good' . I never saw it myself (yet anyway)

there were great write ups in the newspapers (after they left) about all the people in the film and the people helping out on the ground.
done a great business locally around there
many many hundreds of people were involved

I think it was disneyland made the film
( their own version of the story)
the people in these pictures were so friendly.
even made me get into a shot or two.
planting a helmet on my head http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

showing a few more http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif if it's ok

hope it does not interfere with anyone's computer load up


I done the odd picture bl/wh or grey Charlesuhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif as you mentioned.

as regards grain I done 'edges and stuff ' and sometimes grain
but they are not great
as they were not 'great' pictures to start with.
I just happened to be passing
and was very lucky to meet these people at all
and get some shots

[RJSorensen]

Wow . . . Marie your shots are always so nice. LOL, you need to post more or I need to search for your posts again . . .

[sparker1]

Hi Marie, I've been off-line for the past few days and just now saw this thread. Great, great shots of the Saxons, particularly the unknown beautiful actress! BTW, I also like your new avatar.

[stoneylonesome]

More! we want more wonderful shots Marie. :D :D I thought at first you were that beautiful women in those shots, what when you said they took a picture of you with a helmet on :lol: :lol:
Love the new avatar. I remember seeing the full picture in one of your galleries.

[Mills]

Fantastic Marie, as usual. The first one is especially good.

not sure you mean that :lol:
(re post more)

I overdid it this time but realised it was now or never as the film will be a long lost memory soon

thank you very much RJ

[marie]

Fantastic Marie, as usual. The first one is especially good.



thanks a lot mills
http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif I used flash for most of the shots as it was getting dark

why the kids face was blown out in the picture at the top here (flash)

then I blew it out even more http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif to make it dramatic looking
as it was useless the way it was


http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif probably more useless now.
I pretended to myself that she was scared stiff of the big hairy (clothes) man when doing the ps on the picture


http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif and that it was a horror movie


http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif

the lady is lovely. and tall too

don't forget to watch out for her when you watch the video Sandy
and report back to me

http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif maybe she was only serving the paper cups of tea ( in sheepskin)http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

this is the very very last shot especially for youhoo

(to extremes):lol: :lol: :lol:

Beautiful photo Marie. You are correct this one is much better in colour. They must have been very very warm in all those furs, what with running about making the movie. I will definitely get this movie. :D :D :D

the boots you can borrow for the snowwalking you will be doing in the next few days Sandy

in the movie business they always seem to be up so early
these had had a long dayhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif
(hanging around waiting must be worse then anything)

I wondered does Cyber do any sparetime acting
(when not around here and taking shots)
in his reply above he understood a lot , from what he said:confused:

:cool:
thanks again Sandy

[dewmuw]

I don't know Peter
thanks

http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif maybe they let them grow and then they are ready just in case they get called up for certain roles

I do know that some hair (like plaits hanging down) was attached to certain head gear

sorry
never saw yours and damian posts (and question) until this minute
thanks
