Uploaded Image: monster scene - update 2.jpg

Updated the monster scene to fix the sky. Someone suggested using the radio tower to create a UFO effect. However, it doesn't seem to be working to well. We will need to continue tweaking this scene.

Uploaded Image: ciutadella-update2.jpg

I started work on the next scene, while Frank was in London. I chose the Ciutadella Park as the location. I think it would be neat to incorporate the life-size mammoth statue. We can possibly borrow the lizard/gecko from parc guell as well. I will wait for Frank, so we can plan the scene out.

Uploaded Image: fp-using-autostitch.jpg

Auto stitch can be used to join some forced perspective shots. In this example Frank and David are standing in front of the Queens house near the Old Navy College in Greenwich, England. You notice the characteristic ghosting of both subjects as neither was in both of the two source images. Frank is not really as small as he appears in this picture.
