Assignment #3 Revisited

After a couple days with my images, I do have a couple of new thoughts. My cubism response had gotten me thinking a lot about space. I did attempt to put some shapes behind the figure, but they still seem to flatten the image a little bit. I'm curious if adding some shading to the shapes (very subtly) would give a deeper sense of space throughout the frame. They'd have to match the light source, but I figure it could work. I do however, think the flat shapes work better stylistically for the prompt.

The double decker porta-potty is still may favorite image, but a couple of disparities in the angles and color consistencies in the stairs are really starting to bother me. I'd like to go in with the clone stamp tool and clean up the patchy parts. I've been thinking a lot about more context for the picture such as a line or something. I'd like to experiment with it, but the subject matter is weird enough that it sits perfectly well without context.

I'd like to play with more animation, which I think would be interesting in the falling picture. This is worth a try, but kind of a gamble. Some of the appeal of the photo is that the action all takes place in one scene. If I put any animation in, that appeal might evaporate, and I'd be left with just a choppy video of someone falling down the stairs. Besides that, the defined line in one of the figures is really starting to get under my skin.

For the erasing animation one, I wish I planned for the more minute details beforehand. I had talked about the lighting in an earlier post, but now the static element of the hands could use some tweaking. If I did it again, I would take two or three frame of each hand for a higher sense of movement. Maybe I have been a little harsh on it, but anything can help.
