Hi, Bruce.
Nice story. Kind of twsited.
I very much like the design across the top of the building in the first photo,
alternating black 1x1 plates turned diagonally with technic holes. And the
sword tucked under the arm works well--I haven’t seen that before.
The four-way arch is nice too. I might have had the two men’s hands actually
clasped for the “I thought I should never have done wringing his hand” line.
I love the mime-like circus guys at the carnival. That one guy getting flipped
really looks to be in motion. My only small criticism here is that it’s hard to
pick out who’s talking to whom in this photo.
The shot of Montresor just starting to head down the stairs into the catacombs
works very well, and I like the look of the 1x1 plates pressed into the overhead
arch. And the curved wall around the spiral staircase is very impressive.
Very nice catacombs and lighting. A small criticism is that you’ve got three or
four very similar shots in a row here--they’re not identical, but you might
consider capturing things from a different angle. It would be nice to see a
long, down-the corridor shot, with the catacombs on either side.
For the line “the foulness of the air caused our flambeaux rather to glow than
flame”, I thought you might switch over to a 1x1 trans-orange round plate
instead of a flame on the torches. :)
I very much like the uneveness in the quick rock-and-mortar job. But I was
surprised you didn’t have an action shot of Montresor binding Fortunato, just
the afterwards shot of him bound and locked.
Very enjoyable work, Bruce!
Happy Halloween!
-Brendan
