Re: Challenge 855: The Golden Lion
Great stuff guys and gals. Love your take on the green screen David. Lovely screen shot. Well done.

Like the reflections Llyod. David is right, same height as the train but ever so slightly smaller. Your reflection in from a point beyond the gaps. A touch of perspective with the disappearing view point far to the left. Lovely idea though, regardless.

Anna, you're getting very clever with your videos. Well done. A lot of work getting all those components into both the image and the clip. Lovely stuff.

Re: Challenge 855: The Golden Lion
Thanks Michael...!

Anna, the lion is great... well done!
No moose, but I added a pigeon at no extra cost.

Thanks Dennis... I'm trying to improve the animation with this last version.

David, reworked reflection in this final version with size modification and it is running in the opposite direction. Thanks!

Looks spot on to me.

As Anna pointed out, the really impressive touch is the reflection in the puddle ......... and you cleverly put the bird just high enough not to need to reflect him too.

Re: Challenge 855: The Golden Lion
What a bizarre idea Josephine. The blend is perfect to my eye! If it wan't for the obvious architectural improbability this would be completely convincing.

Re: Challenge 855: The Golden Lion
Thank you! Somewhat oddly on the original image of Venice the water to the right hand side was still even though there are ripples further back - just as well because I couldnt replicate the effect!

Beautiful image Josephine. I am, however, glad i'm not an electrician in that block...lol

Well done Lloyd. That works very well.

Re: Challenge 855: The Golden Lion
Deliberate mistake or no I think that is excellent Michael.

I doubt that I will get out to play this week as I am away for a few days.

Re: Challenge 855: The Golden Lion
Josephine, I love it. Eclectic little street topped off with a canal. Fabulous.


Michael (Mariner) such a gorgeous village scene.

With the deliberate error..I saw it immediately..all I will say is..it involves a colour

Many thanks everyone for your comments. Thank you

Michael. I was thinking of playing with a street extension. Just as well I spotted yours first! Time to think again or maybe just relax. Your's is done with the classic clean Mariner detail. I also think I have spotted the mistake and I agree with Anna.

I am glad you liked my 15th century scene. It was a bit similar to your entry. Purely accidental.
Right answer.

Well done Michael and I can't 'not see' the deliberate 'mistake' now...

Re: Challenge 855: The Golden Lion
Vibeke your last entry (horse and rider) was again very good: it looked natural, and not photoshopped.

Loyd your last-but-one entry is brilliant (your last entry will be the one where you will stop the train), and make no doubt that the site owner will commend you on your corrections towards the accuracy of reflections.

David what a clever idea of the scene being part of the cinema. Could you please explain to me why the pub windows reflect the bins and not the building directly opposite please?

Good work as usual to the lady with the flashy (non-jerky) software from down-under

Four images presented here (before and after). The "after" is the animation. And don't worry, I'm on brief.

UPDATED: corrected crinkled feathers due to Puppet Warp

David, thank you for your comments. Classic and clean is exactly what I am always aiming for, along with light and shadow contrast. Anna is right, and so are you. It wasnt' very hard to spot the mistake really.
