Please note that I did not encourage my mom (glassone) or brother (big tom) to chime in. They did it on their own accord, and I love them.

Topic: Peoples' Choice - Two Matches for 1/24 / Conversation About The Matches

So I’ve had the whole commute home to ponder this awesome afternoon (a big shout out of thanks to all the magic that happens behind the scenes to make this Layer Tennis happen). I feel super lucky to have been able to participate not once, but twice.

Now for voting.

MATCH A: My vote goes for INMAN. I could pick apart my crafty but daft volleys, but I’m too tired for self-deprecation this evening. Though Shaun seemed reticent to pull from the other match, he had a vision and executed it very, very, well. The first volley reminds me of that Catcher in the Rye paperback cover. Classic. The four glasses turned upside-down? Pure goodness. Clean, timeless design. And his last volley sealed the deal, with skill that is often overlooked, and that’s behind the scenes of the bits and bytes, the CSS.

MATCH B: I’m going to go with KOXVOLD. It was the audio that pulled me over to his side. The whimsy and motion of every lob was delightful. I would never agree to that much rendering and work in a short period of time. I’ll stick with cameras and scotch tape, thankyouverymuch, but man I can appreciate it.

I won’t pick an overall winner, but I would like to pick out favorite volleys from the entire season. That’ll happen after: 1.) Beer and 2.) Sleeping in.

Andrew, I used the camera a bit this go-round, but not as much as before.

The low-down:
VOLLEY 2: Photo for the background with Inman’s image printed out and sliced up.
VOLLEY 4: Two snapshots of a glass of water with food-coloring in front of another printout
VOLLEY 6: I made an extra photo of the half-full glass the previous round. Duped it in photoshop.
VOLLEY 8: All photoshop, extremely janky.
VOLLEY 10: A big photo after quickly printing and cutting out a dino-carousel.

Being one that wrestles with CSS almost daily, I bow to Inman’s powers.

And as for the final diorama, it is here:

Man do I need a drink. Inman was relentless.

But if I have to step up to the plate (or whatever they use in that tennis sport) I will not be shaving.

I gotta throw my vote over to the DDC, but thoroughly enjoyed watching every frame of this match.

This isn’t a remix, it’s a redo.
In hindsight, I wished I would’ve pushed volley 8 farther, but I’m blaming the ticking clock.
