Secret Agent Entry: Israel Breslav

First to the picture: I don´t think the lash fits the rest of the image (hint for walrus!). I would expect a more uptodate catching mechanism. Maybe a laser kind of thing, or holographic, something more on par with the rest of the technology. However, I think the police man must have kind of spider super powers to react that fast when that guy crashes out of the wall. :wink: Maybe going a different route would be better for the composition. Or you somehow indicate that the police guy knew he would crash out of there (like showing other guys scanning other walls nearby with an xray gun or similar, or him having a 3d holo projection coming out of his car showing the situation inside the wall)

btw. I like the added details of the background!

@walrus: Of course it´s your opinion and yes I don´t agree. But please leave it up to me on which parts of your comments I answer seperately. That´s what quote brackets are used for you know?! Giving different opinions on different parts of other opinions (of course you can suggest to CGTalk to restrict postings to one quote bracket but well, the chances are good they won´t take that suggestion ;) hey, this was sarcasm, don´t punish me!).

Not sure why you felt attacked by it, but it was not my intention. To me it´s simply clearer to comment different parts of a posting seperately (if I quote).

Anyway, dynamic composition is totally off from motion, in the end it´s a composition. This will work either in a still image or in a motion picture, the rules are exactly the same. For motion pictures you just have to take other aspects into account that might appear in following pictures, but that barely changes a good dynamic composition. You may take a different composition therefore in a motion picture but that doesn´t touch the dynamics of a composition or make one composition less dynamic than the other.
Roughly put, a dynamic composition of a still image will work in a motion picture in the same way and show the same dynamics, as a motion picture is nothing else than a series of still images shifted in time.

Beautiful composition!

#21

I think I am starting to like the composition. I’ve decided that the policeman will react to the explosion.
Crits are most welcome :slight_smile:

#22

Designer- thnx for your crits, I’ve decided to drop the lash thingy :slight_smile:
Walrus- Your crits helped alot, thanx man.
citizenpayne, Kerem- thanx!

#23

I like the picture better with the policeman reacting to the big boom instead of using the lash (thank you, Designer!) Although maybe you could try turning his head to look at the explosion even with his arm up to protect him. It would help subtly guide the eye back up into the picture and connect the two more.

Also, your last comp (admittedly rougher) had the word police on the side of the flying vehicle. Without that there’s nothing to really tie him to being a police officer. Are you going to re-add decals to the “car?” Blue and Red lights could also be really cool… or they could unbalance the color composition you already have. :shrug:

#24

Hi walrus,
I will try to apply the adjustments of the head as you suggested.
The word “Policeman” wasn’t forgotten, I will apply it later :slight_smile:
Thanx man!

#25

A larger image.
I’ve started to work on the details, still not perfect, something in the BG is bothering me.
CC are welcome

Very nice action scene. The colors do a superb job of bringing the eye from the left to the right.

#27

look really great,the onlything not really ok is the perspective the main building with the backgound are not in the same perspective.
great details! looking forward for the next update.

#28

Cool scene, great colors, it’s dynamic. Good job :wink:

#29

CyrilJEDOR- thank u so much!
Kaelion- thank’s man. it means alot!
Irawan- thank you so much for your comment about the perspective, u completely right. I guess I’ve got so carried away with the concept that I forgot about the basics :D. I am already working on it.

#30

yeah, now you got it! This makes much more sense now and the colors are very cool…ahem, I mean hot. :thumbsup:

#31

Kick-ass action scene! The colors are so great here and really help the sense of drama :slight_smile:

#32

Perfectly man!
well done!:slight_smile:

#33

I think I almost done, I will add some textures and texts :slight_smile:

#34

Marat-Ars- thnx man!
MartinNielsen, Designer- I am glad u like it!
Irawan- I fixed the perspective of the building, hope it works :slight_smile:

#35

Nice use of both warm and cool tones in the foreground. And I also liked how you separated them with the lowsat background in the middle. Good Job:cool:

“That’s it, this will be my last mission, I am too old for this”, said Rick six hours ago, after leaving the FBI headquarters with a new brief. His mission was to get an intel about a dirty chief of NYPD and leave without a trace. But someone tipped the police, they knew he was coming.
“I am too old for this”, thought Rick, while he was flying through a window 200 feet above the ground.

Great work!. Congratulations. Love the sensation of the moment. I think that it could be a little bit more polished. But anyways it´s a great one. Good luck!!
