Hi

First of all thanks to @jane-e and @Trevor.Dennis for bringing us the last two challenges, also to all those who took part in them.

I got the idea for this week's starter image when thinking about the last perspective challenge. So I bring you this scene of an empty lift (elevator for my friends over the Atlantic). What can you now do with it?

 

The “rules”:

* Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc

* Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum "regulars".

* There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

* The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only. Sorry to have to add this last one but it has come to light that some of the starter images have been taken (not by our regular participants) for other uses without permission.

 

To download the image below at full size, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

 

 

When posting back your image – please use the blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun

 

Dave

I like it Jain.  I believe you said that you did the last video you put up with Photoshop, so it has plenty of options if you have some imagination.  I don't know for sure, but I think that if you upload a video to YouTube and make it private, you can still embed it in a forum post.

A new role for me 🙂  I don't know how I'll get on with that complex lift control though !

why only 3... is that still a thing for Covid or because of the lightsaber?

The number varies according to what floor you are on and the integrity of your government.

Dave, your work is truly breathtaking! It’s so photorealistic.

 

Well, here is a hallway with a different view.

Thank you K. Nice job - I like the way you extended the skirting board below the tank.

The golden rule with frame animations that have multiple elements is the create all of the layers before you start making frames.  If you realise something needs changing _after_ the frame animation has been started you need to be uber careful and save a lot.  Then _when_ it goes pear shaped, go back to the last save and _don't try and fix it.  Of course this only helps if you take your own advice.  This comes under that acronym from the early days of the Internet.  DAMHIKIJKOK

Fantastic idea...I'm wondering what can be found on the other floors too! You can make this into a series of art works. - Murphy
