Yep,

deadly serious, look at any film over the last century to represent jeopardy/surrealism/vertigo/fear the camera view is angled or looking at the familiar with distorting lenses. It has been used in hitchcock through to spielberg. the shapes are recognisable in the image they look like they will fall there is a sense of jeopardy. I believe if Marcos straightened the image up it would lose its edge, scale and uniqueness. The arches look organic and skeletal to me. The comment on the 9/11 attack is the one unique powerful image is the photo of the aftermath with the arched part of the building defiantly upright through the smoke and dust. I can see that iconic image in Marcos painting with the arch ways.

Art is subjective you may see different and i welcome to hear your comments.

Respect Rich.

I agree with u about the lens…and I think also it gives more drama…but my point was different…but let’s forget it.

#74

I agree with kbarts - the sun it’s still too close to the edge, it looks strange from a composition point of view.
Other than that, it’s beautiful! :thumbsup:

#75

Thank you Sonia,
I think now the sun has enough space in the composition.

Sorin and Richard: I think you both are right viewing it from different perspectives.
I hope you both agree with me that this version is a step forward. :slight_smile:

I was getting more and more into warmer colors, losing the basic athmosphere completely. Now I’ve finally realized and corrected it.

#76

Sorin and I only want the best for you, though looking at the image now I am completly blown away. Awesome.

tons of respect

Rich.

#77

man, I really appreciate your discussion and this kind of learning by getting critique and comments. Thank you :wink:
Sometimes it’s hard when you have many opinions, but thats the deal to decide yourself in the end.

#78

of course :wink:

#79

Really nice lighting and composition, the far away building on the far left are a nice addition.

#80

If no needed changes come to my mind the next days, this will be the final version ! :slight_smile:

#81

Nice finish. It is dramatic.
The perspective thing mentioned isn’t bothering me, as the structure does look like it is sinking into the ground, but the car is drawing my attention constantly. It appears too large for it’s position, greatly diminishing the scale of the museum, in my head.
Again, very dramatic image.

Good luck.

#82

Thank you.
I’ll have a look at the cars scale.

#83

Awesome. Great job. I especially like the crumbled wall on the left side, it very much remidns me of rocks worn away by the sea. Excellent work overall, congrats on getting it all finished!

#84

loving it :slight_smile:
I also think the car seems a bit big next to the NHM.
love the seaweed on the rocks and sign :thumbsup:

EDIT: i just saw the boat, now THATS cool :applause:

#85

Thank you, guys ! :slight_smile:

Did some tiny changes. Changed the rocks on the right, so they don’t look like repeating shapes anymore.

#86

Ah, yes!
Perfect! :applause:

#87

Thank you Sonia.

As I’m new to the camera Projection Technique, but really willing to learn it, I’m going to give it a try. Don’t know if the time is enough for me to finish it the way it looks acceptable, because I cannot render it on my slow mac mini at home. It’s going to be alot of guessing how things are working out when rendered.
(Water reflections are a thing that I think won’t be enough time for :confused: )

Here’s the 3D modeled scene so far.

#88

Oh, you’re gonna try it!
I can’t wait to see how this turns out. :slight_smile:

#89

It’s seem that i’ll not be the only one to try the camera move :thumbsup:. I think u are really more advanced then me on this stage…

really nice work on the stage 3, original idea and nice painting.

Good luck ! and i hope u will have time to finished ur move.

#90

Hey man, this is looking really cool. Hope you can get it finished in time. The tricky part is the water reflections, not too sure how you’ll pass that one off. One idea might be to some how paint in a mask of the water areas and apply a reflective material to that then play around with some fancy comping techniques. Not quite sure but i’m betting its possible somehow. You could also add in a little mist to cover areas that dont work too well.

Good luck - Dave :slight_smile:

#91

Well I got the reflections working with a particle simulation.
But damn there went something wrong in the particle baking. The computer crashed one time doing it, I guess it caused the little waterjump. There are some smaller issues that I’d like to change in the animation. But I’ve got no time left to do it … so I posted my final results. :slight_smile: Please have a look at the final entries thread to see the animation.

Again … good luck to all participants.
This was alot of fun.
