When my kids came home with a dark gray Among Us figure, I was compelled to create a diorama for it. The room is constructed with 3 Subway Sandwich trays, spray painted gray. I use LEGO, LED's, parts from an old landline phone, microwave, laptop and more to make the console and wall on the right. The floor is made of LEGO grills upside down. A Ulanzi LED light is placed underneath with an A4 inkjet paper as diffuser. I used pillow batting (spray painted dark gray) for smoke. It is illuminated by an LED set to warm white to create the flame effect. Creating the scene was a bit of a challenge.

The real challenge was the figure. Only the hands of the figure can move (pivoting only). To create the running pose I made a stand and photographed the figure in multiple positions, so I could create the bent legs with the correct reflections of the floor on it. The second challenge was getting the reflections of the characters on the floor. As I mentioned, I had only one dark gray figure, so I had to plan the colorization. I used LEGO stand-ins I built, that reflected the correct colors in the floor below the characters.
