context 3

After my test, I then created a large 1280x720 version, as this is the size i want for my final video. I'm choosing this size, because I want to have a cinematic feel, and a 16:9 ratio helps with that. It also means it will look really good when uploaded to vimeo, and will also match my other video projects if i was to put it into a show reel.

Here is the test:
(You'll have to ignore the play button, I just took a screen shot of the quicktime movie.)

I showed this to Elle and came out with a few things to work on, which included:

• - the brightness and saturation of the form is too different from the context, so it's too apparent that they are just separate layers composted on top of each other 
• - we weren't sure if crabs lived underwater, and Elle suggested something like sea anemone's instead, because they could also be coloured similarly to my forms and help to integrated the form more effectively into the environment through the colour similarities.
• - it would make sense, in a deep sea environment, for the glow of the forms to effect the environment
• - the 2d stuff is a bit static
