Alternative 3D

I tried to fix Snot.

I repainted him and fixed his limbs and sorted him out after he fell apart post-GIF (must have been all that nose-picking). I wanted to re-shoot the 3D GIF because 3D is what I'm really passionate about and I'm worried that what I have made doesn't show enough skill. 

I want to show that I can make cool things.

As the photographer, I AM IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING WITHIN THE FRAME.

I am in charge of the lighting, the backdrop, the angle. So I'm controlling all these variables.

The new backdrop is much better and more controlled. Using cameras, looking dusty and old. I used a sheet of black card for the floor and white card for the wall behind him. I collected dust and sprinkled it over the 'floor' but does it just look messy?

The new paint coat isn't right, just not the right green.

You can see the white-tac under his feet.

His hair lost all its bounce and looks like a really rubbish clown wig.

I'm finding it really hard to tell whether I'm being silly and picking out flaws that aren't apparent to most viewers, or whether I am doing the right thing and trying to improve.

So I gave up part-way through because this is even worse than the previous version.

I'd spent so long on that one and I don't have time with such a short brief to re-do a whole 3D GIF right now just because I'm being a perfectionist. I've already wasted time attempting to, but I'm stopping now.

I'm using what I've got. I know it's good. I know it's not as good as it could be, but everything could ALWAYS be better. It's about knowing when to stop. It's more important to hand in everything that was asked for than the spend the whole three weeks making ONE PERFECT GIF.
