Re: Challenge 810: Peppa's boat
First to launch the boat this week was DavidMac, with a splendid cartoon sea - and the way the bear’s hand is gripping the steering wheel is perfect. Beautifully done. A fine second entry, too, with Boris heading over the waterfall… I wonder, is there any way to indicate that the boat is going backwards? Perhaps if it was tilted back towards the cliff edge? 
A semi-submerged boat from lwc, with rippling flag and splashing waves. I suspect it should rock back and forth, as well as moving up and down. I loved the second entry, reminding me of a 1990s screensaver. The waving plants and rising bubbles really make it. The third entry is somewhat more sinister, with its darker tone; but the reflection of the girl’s face works well. A fitting finale in the fourth entry! Peppa Pig and some piggy man with glasses (I’m not a devotee) from GKB, the boat now sporting a pirate flag. A gloriously wafting flag in the animated version, although I curse you for having stuck that song in my head all week. A glorious third entry, complete with distortions. Going to have to nudge you on the perspective, though. It’s a boat, from michael sinclair - not my boat, of course, but a different boat. I’m sure there must be a reason. A fine animated sea, Michael, but why doesn’t the boat go up and down with the wave? Sea stories galore from JimH, with Cap’n Jack Sparrow fending off a not-so-giant squid, while Godzilla creeps up in the background. And you’re saying that pink blob in the foreground is a real fish? Um. Possibly best not deep fried with chips. Artfully built packaging from tooquilos - is this a real object? Very hard to tell. I like how it and the map jump out of the box in the animated version, and the scene with a 3D pig is terrific. Maybe tuck the pirate’s legs entirely behind the treasure chest so he doesn’t swivel? A great story, imaginatively told. A beautifully detailed entry from Mariner, who has turned a regular fishing boat into a simulation of the Peppa Pig boat. I like how the Peppa flag flies from the radio antenna - and the addition of Prince Andrew is a very neat touch. I think the wheelhouse could do with dirtying up a little, though. A glorious fantasy from Frank, with the boat - now fully crewed - lashed to a leaping whale. There’s a load of action here, with nicely judged water splashes and a great sense of movement. Excellent. The children in Vibeke's boat fit absolutely perfectly - did you pose and photograph them specially? If not it’s an extraordinary piece of luck finding them from that angle. Just one point: adding a shadow would more firmly place that boat in its surroundings: 
I’m deeply intrigued by srawland's entry, which has me completely stumped. Have you modified an existing boat? Or did you find this all in one piece? What I’m saying is, I can’t see any evidence of photo manipulation here. Which, frankly, is something of a compliment. |

Thank you Steve  Ive attached an image showing packaging process. The boat is the same one you supplied but flipped horizontally.  _________________ Dorothy: Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore |

Re: Challenge 810: Peppa's boat
Thanks Steve, absolutely right about the shadow. The children are my grandchildren, 2 different photos, one taken in 2006 and the other in 2009. I have a great program for searching my photos across my different drives. _________________ Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize. |

HA! I wondered whether you would be fooled by this image. The boat is in the back.   _________________ I'm still learning. |

Thanks Steve During the editing process you have to replay parts of the sequence to get everything in sync; after a few replays I just had to turn the sound off  I couldn’t stand it anymore _________________ Time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana. |
