In ep 4 I was keen to try shooting a big scene with a large set and loads of props, a number of characters, live-plants, water effects and a big Greenscreen background (or sky-dome, actually). Reasonably pleased with the way that turned out, though its not perfect.

I also wanted to learn how to use the camera better...pans, dollys, tracking shots, Depth of Field...I was a little heavy handed with the DOF in this ep, but it was great fun learning how to use it and I hope to get more subtle with practice. ;)

I have some issues with the last scene...particularly the paper in the officer's hand. Will have to work at getting things like that sorted out in future eps too.

Well, hope you're still enjoying the story and thanks for watching.

Cheers.
