I was inspired somewhat from an old painting I saw in an antique store and it simply sparked of an array of ideas for this shot.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The shot ended up being quite a complicated one in terms of lighting but we got there in the end. The characters are not composite, it was all shot together. All that is added is the ferris wheel background (a shot I took in Melbourne, Australia) and the enhanced smoke from the clowns cigarette. I'm quite proud of this one. I think it tells a real story.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PCRp_ER1hf0/TGKZBFOr_2I/AAAAAAAAALg/6FacwBRaiBs/s1600/take2FLAT+WEB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PCRp_ER1hf0/TGKZBFOr_2I/AAAAAAAAALg/6FacwBRaiBs/s640/take2FLAT+WEB.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7141001822866331901-3993906738139323931?l=richardwoodnz.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Richard Woodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13921084579389121394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141001822866331901.post-91312635914239617722010-08-12T00:34:00.001+12:002010-08-12T00:34:50.202+12:002010-08-12T00:34:50.202+12:00Being slightly or much influenced by the Underworld movie, I liked the idea of this shot.<br /> The outfit was rather left of field, but when matched with 300 year old samurai arm armour, I think it worked well.
