Challenge 1061: VE Day
A happy fourth of July to our American friends. Here in the UK we seem to be spending the whole year celebrating VE (Victory in Europe) Day, with flags and bunting stuck up at every opportunity. I was wandering through a military show in the Norfolk city of Ely a couple of weeks ago when I came across this rather forlorn tent. They're clearly waiting for the show to start, but how on earth would you entertain this doleful crowd? High res is here.  |

Re: Challenge 1061: VE Day
Funny. I thought the same thing when I posted it. Very nice clip Loyd! You set the bar high on this one. If you played with a high light on the top of the middle audience heads and introduced a flicker on the tent it would be really set a nice tone. _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Adding the lighting effects takes it out of the realm of the ‘quickie’, but here you go Dennis.

Re: Challenge 1061: VE Day
Funny you should say that Dennis. The only time I ever posted an animation here (in fact almost the only time I attempted to even make an animation), I played with exactly your suggestion. Loyd has just done in a hour or two what took me days to achieve. 
Apologies Steve for the diversion.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

That's a lovely touch. Lovely Loyd. I remember that challenge and it got me tinkering as well but I failed. Very clever David! _________________ The grass is greener on the other side of the fence because there is more $hit there. |

Completely out of ideas ......... so a tribute to the modern world's single greatest contribution to really dull and boring talks and lectures.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

I grew up being taught that Churchill was one of our heroes. I thought of him for this challenge. I'm very glad you made this one Gordon, there is absolutely no way that I could have done him justice. Well done! |

Thank you Loyd. Churchill had his faults (don’t we all?) but thank goodness we had him. A great man. _________________ Whatever you do in life do it with the enthusiasm of a 4-year old in a Batman suit. |

Seems this tent is even more forlorn than Steve thought. Bit like my entry ................
