Yeah, I've seen others use the lattice fences quite nicely as shutters, and it's
even easier when you're only ever going to show one side of a building -- the
other side can look sloppy if no one sees it.

I have Jesus taking off his shirt for emphasis. He's talking about his flesh,
after all. I guess I feel that a lot of modern readers are so used to thinking
of eating-the-flesh-of-Jesus in some sort of non-literal sense, that I felt that
the emphasis here helps explain why Jesus got the reaction he did from "the
Jews" and even his own followers.
My first idea for emphasis was to try to convey that Jesus had rolled up one of
his sleeves and was pointing toward his bare arm to emphasize 'flesh'. But I
couldn't figure out how to do this logistically. I tried giving Jesus one
yellow arm, but that didn't quite look like a rolled-up sleeve. And for the
life of me, I could not position his arm, his body, or the camera in such a way
that it looked like he was using one arm to point toward the other. So instead
he whips his shirt off. A non-traditional appraoch to the story, for certain,
but not, I think, a radical or wholly uncalled-for one.
