Xil posted a new test video

Impressive. I don't think I've seen anyone try this before. I notice the make up, is she a Trill from Star Trek?

Since it's a test video, are you still tweaking this? If so, here are some deep-techie thoughts:

- The distance between Jane and the camera is shrinking along with Jane, so logically the camera is moving forward a bit. But I think you may have overdone it - The wall seems to approach her. This is actually a perfect place for the Vertigo effect, where the camera simultaneously dollies in and zooms wide. Hence the background plate would move further away instead. Technically wrong, but psychologically perfect.

- Jane's CGI hands and her sleeves seem to be moving in slow motion. You might slow down the video of her head to match this, or adjust the hands to move faster. Human limbs are like pendulums in that the smaller they are, the faster they move.

Good luck, and thanks!
