Description
This is my first submission to the Vue gallery, and my first serious scene with this program. I've been working on and off with this image about 6 months, partly because lighting this night scene was not easy, and I'm not 100% satisfied with all the resulting shadows and reflections. I've been working with Bryce for close to 2 years, and that at least helped with all things in Vue.
I wanted to try to capture a moment sometime in the mid to late 50's, in a small town like I grew up in, where going to the movies was a treat and you would likely run into a lot of people socializing while getting there. I tried to stay away from the cliche hamburger/drive-in on this one, although those might make fun scenes too.
Vue 4, some post in Photo Shop, and the cars and Bijou theatre are from 3D Cafe's free models. I modeled the other buildings, water tower, parking meters, florist shop, and the streetlights. All the characters were done in Poser 4, with thanks to Jonna and GladysClump for helpful info on clothing, etc.
I hope you like the image, and leave a comment if you wish.

Nice job... Never had considered how the Forbidden Planet movie poster and (some) of the Creature from the Black Lagoon have a character carrying a helpless maiden... perhaps in themselves they are commentary on the 1950s. Very fine job with all this -- keep up the good work.

Brings me back to those same days. It's a wonderful scene. Lighting is just as it should be. Watch for my own Theater image. I'll submit it someday soon.
