Wonderful story and photos, Gaston.  I thought at first it was all photographed outside and that the background was real.  Look forward to more.   :wave:
Gordon, I'll post a pic of the making tomorrow so you can see how it was photographed  :)

Exactly, WOT, that's part of it  ;) The plot will develope until the tournament and then continue depending on how the tournament ends. Or at least depending on how my Knight does it there. I still have to thnk about it....
Thanx for your comments.  :wave:

Hello guys!
Thanks Elaine!
Sorry for the delay. Here are a few pics of the "behind the scenes".



This is the real take of the first photo in the story. You see? I just redefined the limits of the photo and made a few photoshop touches here and there and I had a very different look from what it was originally(please see pic #1)




This is the photo where the mysterious black figure is disappearing. Again just cut out the bad edges and in this case a little vanishing FX with photoshop too.



And this last one (minus the giant cat) is the location of the house scene. Here just the right spot and a good point of view were enough. It was very uncomfortable for I had the wall very near to me (and I'm a big guy) and the angle was a problem, but I managed by pointing at the scene without looking at the screen. I made a lot of shoots till I found the right angle.

So I would say that LOCATION is the main ingredient here. And also a basic use of PS. Nothing else.
BTW with PS I only erase unwanted things or completed backgrounds. The lighting and colors were just natural..... that or I have a magic cam!  ;D
Should you have any questions please ask! Hope it helps!
Gaston- On my way back home from work I realised that this last scene hasn't been published yet! :lol: :lol: so you had a bonus preview of chapter 2!

I really like this story so far, tonguello!  It's very suspenseful and you've created a very eerie mood and setting.  I can't wait to see how it develops! :)

Truely intriguing. It reminds me of some books I have read when I was younger.  :)
