ENTM Prelim Round 3 - Ifrit Shot

Ronberku:
I will say, you were probably my last pick out of the 8 we had to choose, and it was close between you and Yunie, but I choose yours over it because I felt the set up was quite a bit more intensive whether it was planned or unintentional... I normally like seeing the models face- and while both yours and ifrits were both not present I felt everything else in this picture was done right. You pose was staged perfectly, your line of action can be followed down your body to the swinging of your axe which you were able to pick up a fancy motion blur with. I like the fact that you went with ifrit after HF to get his glow for the lighting, AND the fact that I didn't even notice the sacred soil dome effect above both ifrit and yourself until a friend mentioned it to me because the base bottom effect was hid so perfectly by the plumes made me realize the set up this shot probably took. Whether intentional or not I enjoyed your shot, and would like to see more of this type of thing!

Uh...yeah...100% intentional! *cough* *whistles innocently*
Jokes asides lol. I didn't have anyone to help me take screenshots. So I just entered a few DF ifrit hard(I felt really bad for those groups stuck with a OT that just kept spamming the same skill lol). And worked on placing the camera right while spamming the print screen button. And then sorting through my folder XD. I actually had another one that I felt, looked more awesome but Ron's body looked even more hidden. So I passed on it. Here are the other choices I was hesitating on. The first one is the one I just mentioned.

Kin:
While ifrit wasn't in this shot (although wasn't a requirement) you were able to utalize your space, posture, and effects to the best of your ability.) As another one of my favorite shots, I must say- I stared at your image with a friend of mine where we literally discussed your shot for a good 10-15mins trying to figure out how it was accomplished. Was it a physic? Was it summon? Was it a combo of a physic + someone in front of you casting blizzard? To my knowledge physic doesn't have that anim paired with it while summon does, or was it just summon?. So props, trying to dissect your shot we got lost in it. And to me, that is, and what ENTM should be about.

Thank you so much for your feedback! Not just you, but everyone who's taken the time to share their thoughts. It's appreciated.

At the risk of ruining some mystery, that's the healer LB2. I'd actually never seen it before that use, and it isn't the shot I was originally setting up, but I'm immensely glad it seems well-liked.

[Kaelah]

Cheers to all who are supplying feedback and critique, I welcome it~ even if it's blunt. :3
Edit: Since I believe 16 will be left after this round, I'll number them 1-16 to give everyone an idea of where they stand also. (Any ties for 16th place I have numbered them all as 16th.)

How does the scoring for this round work by the way? Are only 8 going through?

[Kouren]

The final cast will include sixteen people. I assume the sixteen with the highest scores will progress?

[Tinsley]

Screw the glass, I'll just need a whole bottle. I'm talking with Rongi about continuing or not. I just had a massive falling out with a friend that I've had almost the entire time I've been playing. He was one of my biggest supporters and was supposed to be in the date shot with me, and has helped me along with almost every shot I've taken and without him around I just have no creative energy and every pic I've tried to take just feels as sad as I do right now. =/

Hang in there hun, true friends are never gone for long. Dont bail just yet, take a deep breath and wait and see what happens. *hug*

[YunieAura]

Thanks for the tally Kaelah!!!!!

Aww sorry to hear that lovely, I'd hate to see you drop out though, I love your shots. Hopefully you guys can work things out.

I assumed the same! Maybe if people are tied the judges decide?

Thanks for the tally Kaelah!!!!!

No worries!

This was me when I saw everyone else's pictures:


This is me now:

[Pscylo]

Just to clear your opinion up...Never even expected to get past the hopeful contestant post(that I did as a joke), so you are sorely mistaken, and we even had the conversation last week about me wanting to just drop out anyways...nice try though.

[Kyri]

Man.. i had so much fun with this round.. took way too many pics!

PR3 is up! And here are the eliminated model's pictures. Tyriont's is my personal favorite!

Your still my partner in crime Ty!

ENTM Prelim Round 3 - Ifrit Shot
Ciara:
One of my favorite shots I voted for, outfit was well planned, timing well executed, pose interesting enough. While the shot itself is of high quality I would have been curious to see if you had lowered the angle a bit more and had a different player take the photo so you were slightly to the left/or right and ifrit was a bit more in the shot. Nonetheless your photos have thus far been very strong and this shot was defiantly in par with the rest of yours.

~Nari <3

Awww so much <333 for you, Ty! i was upset with the angle a bit too but got those shots solo the other night when I decided my pic wasn't quite up to par with what I should have done :3

Guys!! I love your pics! Amazing all of them!


Some of my almost shots ^.-(Can't help but share I kinda loved them all lol)
