Re: Challenge 803: DavidMac goes for a Wii
First to tackle DavidMac this week was lwc, neatly placing an accordion between those outstretched arms. Nicely done - but maybe tone down the saturation on those replacement hands a little. Oh, and two straps required, one over each shoulder! I speak as an accordion player. Hula dancing from srawland, with an expertly reoriented right arm. A great sway on the grass skirt, too. The only thing I’d really question here is the out of focus background; surely you can only get that effect when the subject is very much closer to the camera? DavidMac dreams of hula hooping out of lockdown… fine silhouettes, but you need to redraw those feet - the wide angle of the original photo doesn’t work at this distance. Some pole dancing acrobatics in the second entry, really making full use of that pose - and with all that, your glasses don’t fall off! Outdoor hula from tooquilos, although I see he still has his Wii controller. And I wonder if that ground shadow is too strong for the setting - especially since it rather contradicts the side shadow on David’s face. Some fabulous effects in the animated version - the body motion is tremendous, and you’ve really made full use of all those limbs. A great ripped torso in the final frame! Tremendous. DavidMac goes John Travolta in GKB's animation, with some entertaining wiggle moves. No white suit, Gordon? The coloured spotlight effect works really well, and that’s a fine glitter ball. A snowboarding two-framer from michael sinclair, with David rocking back and forth. But given that it’s hosted on Flickr, with no size limit, why only two frames? Shouldn’t he shoot across the screen? Not sure about the sentiment in the second entry - a bit gruesome, don’t you think. I like how Vibeke has recreated David’s pose with a different body - very nicely done. The combination of posterisation and the oil paint filter makes for an interesting effect, especially on the water. Mariner has come over all Toulouse Lautrec, renovating the Folies Bergère bar with an immaculately recreated dress for the barmaid, and a distinctly spruced-up DavidMac. Curiously, the barmaid has no eye contact with David, although her reflection looks as if it does. A morning suit at the theatre, though? A gentleman would surely wear black in the evening. And who’s the racy cameraman in the second entry? Travolta’s back, In Josephine Harvatt’s disco entry - rather upstaged by DavidMac. A good fit into the scene, and a neatly applied logo to the T shirt. Perhaps a bit of disco colouring needed? An amazing piece of work from Frank, giving David a fabulous wiggle on the surfboard - and an ingeniously patched background. The inflatable pool makes a suitably safe surface! And a great explosive ending. Brilliant! A fun week - and many thanks to David for the loan of his body. |

Re: Challenge 803: DavidMac goes for a Wii
Steve, the original picture "Un Bar aux Folies-Bergeres" was painted by Edouard Manet, not by Lautrec. The barmaid is not looking at David, but at the cameraman, who could well be the said Manet. In her reflection you can't see her eyes, so you can't tell where she is looking. And I think the Folies is more of a burlesque show than a theatre, so you could probably wear what you want, but on that I am only guessing. Anyway, how do you know that David is a gentleman? (Joke) |

Thank you Steve - I did have a bash at coloured lights but it just looked like he had been paint balling _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Re: Challenge 803: DavidMac goes for a Wii
You've rather lost me here Steve. If you look at the original and put it into the bubble knowing it's perspective then it's quite wrong. But if you just look at the scene in the bubble per se feet aren't even visible and the true angle (to my eye) quite simply isn't apparent. It's so without depth or perspective that it seems to me completely ambiguous .... it could even be my back view. Can you elucidate a bit? Glad you liked the pole dancing. I make a very serious participant. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
