As I continue to work on the opening shot, I realize that I can not use any colored lights in the street lamps. While I think the color looks great in the opening shot, when I move in for medium shots and close ups, the color becomes distracting.

      I still like the look of this shot and the new version does bring back one of the ideas I was thinking about from the beginning, to keep the set's color palette as virtually Black and White. The idea being that Jacko would be the primary source of color in the whole project. I've even considered actually making the entire movie in Black and White. (You don't see a lot of computer generated movies in B&W). However, I did not think Jacko looked as good as he does in color.

      As you have probably noticed, I have not added any titles to this version. I'm still working out what I want to do with them.
