    Hi,

    My niece and nephew are going to make a short film in the summer using STAR WARS action figures.
    One scene calls for some characters to melt.
    any ideas on how I can help them do this?
    the melting must happen "live on camera", but I can't figure out how to do it.

    cheers

    You could try making a mould of the figures you want to melt and then casting them in soft clay and then paint them. They probably wouldn't look identical but might be close enough. Then you could just film them standing on a hot plate as they melt away

    Right, I've got a stellar idea for this.

    Remake your figures in Chocolate and film in the sun, guaranteed to work!
