Contest 193: The rooftops of Egypt
We did a contest a couple of years ago using Paris rooftops. The roofs in Egypt are very different, but equally intriguing: I can easily imagine Aladdin, or even Ali Baba, making his furtive way across these. Of course, it would have to be at night to get the atmosphere right.

Anyone here inspired by some Middle Eastern views?

High res is here.

The evil Djin hid Jeannie's bottle in Egypt but with the help of Majors Nelson and Healy and Ali Baba, she was able to find it again

Having shot a wedding today, it's great to get back to normality and see the great work on here already. Better get my thinking cap (or cork hat Anna) on tomorrow.

I call it, "Left Behind".

My only regret is it looks a bit too like one scene, when it really really be two. You'll see what I mean:

Ben, the overall lighting in your entry is most realistic: I like it!

Nice one James. I really look forward to your animations each week and this one, particularly the loop the loop bit, made me laugh. Great work.

Re: Contest 193: The rooftops of Egypt
