Ok I'm dying with all these goodies from today!
I will admit, I still find the mural too two-dimensional, but in the context of scale and the expertise of that painting, it's definitely growing on me. I love the visual disparity between the jagged & cold mountains and the dense forest.
I'm so excited to hear about the tight spaces in the queue. A lot of times, designers get lost in trying to create expansive and monumental structures and spaces without framing them well and hinting at them with vantage points (e.g. Test Track and its infamous canopy, Transformers, HRRR). One of the most important ways to effectively achieve dimension and distance is by framing the audience's eyes in a small location, and rewarding them as they walk by with a change in perspective.
I have to hand it to you Scott. You contribute some really great stuff to this site. Great idea here. It looks really good without the scaffolding. If I didn't know it was a painted backdrop, I'd think it was a real landscaped scene.This is quite a crude way of doing this but I think it gets the idea across. I think the reason it looks so 2D is because of the scaffolding in front of it and it's creating a shadow, I've removed it and it looks a lot better.
Thanks, mate. That means a lot. Been lurking for quite a while and the podcasts here helped me through the misery of decorating recently so happy to contribute something.I

I've played soccer with a lot of players from the UK over the years. All really good guys. I vacationed there a number of years ago. Great country.
Like a second language, they too mostly use the term soccer instead of football so as not to confuse. But the club team system I founded is the "Mon Valley United Football Club" ( I'm to the goalie's right in the picture)(sponsored by Straubs Beer), so I keep the official term.Did they say anything about you using the word soccer and not football?
