Kidzilla Babysitting

Posted to Flickr on 19 July 2014. Part of the Laugh! series. Funny is fun.™

Poor Rex is stuck babysitting the kidzillas again.

Origin

Ever since I got this Rex figure, I wanted to create a “Rex is overwhelmed by something” image, but I could never decide what the “something” should be. Then I found these little Godzilla toys, and I knew.

Setup

The setup was pretty simple. The wallpaper and wooden floor are the smae ones I’ve used in Toy Story photos before. The hardest part was deciding how to position the Godzillas in humorous ways.

Setup

As usual, a large circular diffuser sits above the scene and softens the ambient light of the room.

Alternate

At first I took some shots without the vehicles, but it felt like something was missing, so I decided to give them “toys” to be play with. The tank and airplanes are from Indiana Jones Micro Machines sets from many years ago.

Rex and the Kidzillas have also been seen in these places:

Have you seen this photo somewhere else? Or are you using it yourself? I would love to hear from you! It's always fun to learn where my photos turn up.
