Cheers Phil, looking back on it i can see there are quite a few problems with it - the age difference (I should be in my 40s!) and it drags quite a lot, perhaps needing more movement and location change to another part of the office? Still, it's a first attempt really. As for the techniclities, I wish I could have lit it properly beforehand, that way the lighting would be much better. Apologies for the extra 'l' in your name too! T

Love the "theatricalness" of it.

It is a bit obvious, the age difference, could the script be altered to accommodate this? An Uncle /nephew, perhaps? I like the boldness of the piece! Well done.

And just as an opinon - it might be worth sorting out the balance - the filmed stuff seems a little bright in comparison to the background. You could also try drawing in a conical feathered mask in to create the illusion that the scene is lit from a single lightbulb above. If you get my drift? =D

(and incidentally, my name is spelled with one "l" :P )

This looks awesome, Tom! Glad it turned out so well :)

And the bluescreen work is great too :D
