I totally struggled with the sense of scale. I placed the character in a number of positions without resizing him. The illusion left me with a compromise... placed at the door, he looks too large. By the limo, only slightly too large. By the wheel he still hasn't been resized but does look tiny... as always, I am certainly open to any and all suggestions. I just wasn't sure how to handle this 'scale' issue, I tried making him larger by the wheel but that didn't look quite right either. In retrospect, perhaps larger (in the back of my mind, he was already too large) and by the wheel would have been best.

You've been constrained by the size of the taxi, of course. The simplest solution would have been to have it small at the mouth of the cannon, then squeezing out and enlarging as it fired from it.

Thanks Steve... I made another using your suggestion, and it did help a lot. I had to add frames to slow the taxi down a bit so you could get a sense of the taxi's increasing size.

For show only... I didn't spend a lot of time on this rework.

Is it better or just different?

Thank you Steve. I tried a variety of different angled clouds and none of them worked. I ended up with this one which cloud scene which was shot from the inside of a plane.

Much better! But the man is still far too small.

I agree, he is too small. I just didn't bother with reworking the whole image.
