Beautifully done Anna! A suggestion for Steve: Given the paucity of "participating" members (not actual members), might I suggest the "Two entries only rule" be dropped in favour of "three entries only"; I know Loyd would appreciate it, and he's such a draw with a lot to offer. Anyway, here's my third animation. |

Didn't want to say this too early, but 100% Photoshop seems to be active , doesn't mater, the FC problem is the same. |

Well, I do have a few more... perhaps I'll post one tomorrow and make up for the error of my ways by only making one next week. |

Decisions, decisions... the shuttle to Brandon is a bit expensive and the jet-pack rental has it's obvious high-risks. However, the portal is free and the odds are relatively good at 8 to 2 for ending up in Brandon and not somewhere else... (?). |

Feel embarrassed posting this after all the great moving images, but brain was lacking in ideas... |

If England had won against Croatia, the animation would have been different and probably completed sooner. I had to go back and re-work a couple of things. I still didn't get Steve to Brandon. Oh, and I used the same lighting setting for both fuse clips. Not sure why they are so different. Animation: http://vimeo.com/279776843 _________________ I'm still learning. |

That is absolutely perfect perspective matching Deborah! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 713: Get me to Brandon
A pre-golf quickie from lwc kicked off this week’s proceedings - with a rather splendid car. Added marks for the number plate. I enjoyed the second entry - particularly the stretchy cords tethering the flyer. But shouldn’t he have a moving shadow? I like the portal in the third entry - but shouldn’t he disappear through it, rather than returning to full size? An ingenious painted board from DavidMac, the scene neatly matching that behind it. Very clever and painstaking work - it must have taken an age to build a setting that matches the roofs of the existing buildings. Artfully done. A novel way of breaking down the wall from michael sinclair - I like the way you’ve given the tank treads a sense of movement. More off-topic with the second entry, but good to see your Roman soldiers back. Is it just me, or do they all look constipated? A fine military specimen in the third entry, although I find his shadow rather unconvincing. And wouldn’t it be better if he carried on walking out of shot, rather than fading away? Oh - and of course, Michael, submit as many entries as you like. Within reason. A splendidly blasted hole from tooquilos, with excellent rubble. Good idea to replace the entire scene behind the wall. A terrific title sequence to the animated version, with some fine scenes of impassible roads and a really funny satnav map. And what a magnificent explosion as the trick breaks through the wall! A cartoon reference from Ant Snell, with Wile E Coyote trying once again to trap Road Runner. A very cartoony hole in the road, and great matching of perspective with the road painted on the fence. Very cute - and I like the added helicopter. Simplicity often wins out, as Deborah Morley’s neat set of stairs shows. Very nicely fitted in. I’d add a support beneath the platform the woman is standing on, though, otherwise you’re going to need some serious underground supports at the foot of the stairs to make the cantilever work. A cleverly patched block of houses from Jota120, fitting in well with the style of the originals. Curious as to why you chose a dark road surface, though, rather than repurposing the existing one. James Bond’s Aston Martin from srawland - nicely positioned, although I would query whether it’s wise for a spy to have a personalised vanity plate. A fun animated version, with both the wall and the clouds rolling back to reveal Trump Baby. I’m intrigued, though: how would you have done it differently if England had beaten Croatia? |

Re: Challenge 713: Get me to Brandon
Thanks Steve. Excuse, the surface is darker because freshly laid tarmac, true, but if hadn't needed to dash-out I would have toned it down to be more sympathetic with the rest of the scene. Maybe the Motown ha, ha... |

Thanks Steve. It was quite challenging. I still don't feel I made it look 'painted' enough. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Thanks Steve, I always look forward to your critique... and anyone else's should they feel inclined. Ah... the car. I have a fondness for all cars Morgan. My bad! The lack of the moving shadow is just an oversight. Returning him to full size was just my way of restarting the loop. |

Re: Challenge 713: Get me to Brandon
Thank you, Steve. I was going to have it open up to an idyllic English village scene with the World Cup trophy rising from the horizon. I was even going to modify some light flairs so the trophy looked like it had a halo around it. _________________ I'm still learning. |

Steve, I wasn't sure what you meant by "unconvincing shadow", as the shadow is not always crisp and well-defined; but anyway, here's a sharper rendition. It is important to get one's shadows right. |

Re: Challenge 713: Get me to Brandon
I don't know about now but back when I was a youngster I believe the Morgan four wheeler (Roadster I think it was called) had a chassis made of elm. A friend of mine drove one and I can remember that it was a nightmare in the swiftly changing english weather as getting the rain roof on involved a complicated ritual of stretching the cover over hoops and fixing with press studs. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 713: Get me to Brandon
Yes, the chassis was wooden... The TV show "Wheeler Dealers" reworked a Morgan +4 (for the most part, same as roadster) with a new chassis and plywood floor panels in 2012. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_%2B4 The roof is indeed a challenge when rushed. |
