    Let the fun being again!  Here are some of my favorites so far:

    Luci45:#1 Redon Finds Color - thanks for introducing me to Redon - I had to do the ol Google to get the reference.  I like the classy muse - the top hat is a nice touch

    Gopherus #01 On a planet not so far away,  70 years ago… - wow, extremely imaginative and wacky revisionist history.  

    Daventaki #1 When at home....  Fun and touching play on classic tropes - behind every great woman is a great dishwasher!

    Totte:#3 A small but critical error - I like the sweeping camera angle with lots of fun, specific details - And I especially like the non-sequitur Leather Dude cameraman - hallmark of RRRR.  

    CYRAN-0 #1 - Great render - nice use of camera.  And I think the concept of AI generated poetry makes a great premise for a tv series or movie.  Excellent application and modernization of the theme.

    Ostadan Pull #1 - this one made me laugh and an early front-runner.  I can easily see this in a Mel Brookes movie. Great application of the theme and I really like the camera angle.  (P.s. make sure you add it to the Entries only thread, or maybe I missed it there.)

    f.boschanski #1 -  Jippy Goes Nuts - wow, that's a wilde ride - kinda psychodelic with the carpet, wallpaper, and chairs, and incredible detail in the face and headdress.  Lighting looks great to me - pinkish as you said to warm on my screen, which I think suits the image.

    Thanks a lot for the feedback! Yeah, its more a draft and therefore i did not post it (yet) in the entry thread. If i find the time, o am going to do a second iteration. I dragged most items into the scene, not caring too much about textures and colours.
    I found it to be too busy with all the different textures. Its one of the things to change on my list. Apart from changes to dimensions, light and some item (positioning) errors.
    But currently i am busy with learning about lighting and try figure out some other things along the way (for the new user challenge). Hopefully i will find a day or two before the deadline to do another iteration.
    I really came to like the overall setting.

    Movie Night on The USS Enterprise - The Singing Cats of Cheirocrates

    "Mr Data, what is the meaning of this?"
    Data is puzzled at Captain Piccard reaction to "The Singing Cats of Cheirocrates" He had asked Data to pick something different, something unsusual "to shake things up a bit.

    This episode never aired because Brent Spinner could not deliver his lines without laughing. Spinner, an obsessive  cinemaphile, had introduced the obscure cat film to director Jonathan Frakes, who agreed it was perfect for the story. Only Spinner knew that the cats were androids who, in their own language, were mocking all humanoid races and so-called civilization.

    Now We Can Go Into the Water Again!

    Megalodons were believed to have been extinct for 3 million years.  But really they just lost their teeth.  Between shots for taping Meg 2: The Trench,  Meg sleeps in the shark tank.  She puts her false teeth in a bowl by her tank.  She never imagined that someone would steal her false teeth.  But now we can go into the water again!

     The Palermo Grey


    At the location for the shooting the the new, yet to be announced, sequel to Mad Max:Fury Road, leading actor Micheal Fore was furious. His palermo grey suit jacket was missing from his cloth rack and his astrologer had said that today he should wear that suit at a dinner with the producer and the director. He shouted:
    - "You, drone camera operator, hiding behind that ridiculous fake beard, did you take it, or did you take it  mud diver? I need it! Search for it you imbeciles!"

    Jippy Goes Nuts V2
     

    got rid of most off the additional stuff and used "the streets of morocco" as environment, because i thought it would be the most fitting one our of my library.
    adjusted poses and expressions on the protagonists, but did not change anything beyond that on the items i had pulled.
    kept the lighting pretty basic. just environmental light plus a single spotlight. Had spent too much time on rearranging to fiddle any longer.
    10 days of lying down ill messed with my shedules enough already.
    Not sure if it was a good choice to move this outside. Probably should have kept an indoor setting, but a less distracting one than the former iteration.

    Anyways... its about the actor(s), not the surroundings. and this version is at least more focused on the main subject.

    I've been really busy with life and I'm glad I thought to peek into the forums. I would have hated to miss RRRR! I have been looking through all the entries and I love them!

    @luci45 I love Redon Finds Color! So surreal and the eyeball is awesome! Wow, the story for A Steven Spielberg Anecdote on the Making of Jaws is great on it's own! I love the image!


    @Gopherus Zsa Zsa is scary! I like the animation frames for this one. Valient Thor better run haha
    Your What was Doctor Cyclops Thinking" image is cool! I really love Doctor Cyclops' eye. The perspective is great on this. Those poor people, though. Your third pull.. That is one crazy lady!
    Your 5th pull's story really cracked me up. Yay, stolen teeth! :D

    @Totte I think you did a good job with the pull you had with Jäger Maestro - Retired Hockey Player. I'd probably check out Jäger's art! Born To Run is a really cool image. There's always that guy staring at the camera in the world... I love your third pull, A small but critical error. Nicely done!

    @Ostadan Well, that's one way to direct something!

    @Daventaki When at Home is an awesome take on "behind the scenes!" I love the way they are looking at each other. The water and soap in the sink looks amazing.

    @f.boschanski I love the facial expression in Jippy Goes Nuts. The image feels crazy aund so fun! Ohh.. I just came to V2... That looks really cool! I think it looks great with that background.

    @adamsrobt  I do a lot of NLP data work with AI and your image "CYRAN-O is kind of terrifying, because I could totally see it happening!

    @f.boschanski  good choice

    @zethara #01  LOL!  what happens when d&D becomes real?  reminds me of Andre Norton's Quag Keep.  where the characters seize control of the game from the dungeon master and decide to have their own adventure.  Oh No!  is that the sound of the dungeon masters dice i hear?

     

    thanks Zethara for your comments on mine

    A Tangled Tale of Peter Pumpkin-Eater and Jack O'Lantern
    On the day before All Hallow's Eve, Peter Pumpkin-Eater's estranged wife showed up for her annual visit, talking her usual nonsense.
        "You can't keep the wandering spirits away with these foolish pumpkins, Peter. I should know, being a 'lost one' myself. You have to use honest vegetables from our own soil. Turnips or rutabagas"
        "Foolish woman, these pumpkins from the New World are glorious! They will keep the spirits at bay and make me a lot of money besides. And who is that fool in the tree outside my window?"
        "None other than lonely Jack O'Lantern."
        "Is that so?" Jack did not believe any of this nonsense. "The legendary 'Stingy Jack'? I will invite him in and make him my business partner." 
    Jack, having been fond of money when he was among the living, agreed to the offer, which Peter had made in jest. A profitable business venture was born and wandering ghosts everywhere were inspired to entrepreneurship, including Calais who founded the legendary "Burgers of Calais" restaurant chain in the USA.

    @luci45:#1 This is gorgeous, really nicely done
    @Gopherus #01 Aha, drawing a clear line around what is hers, I see ;)
    @Totte:#1 Always nice to have a comfortable retirement plan :)
    @luci45:#2 Well, that would have been a very different movie if they had hired her XD
    @Totte: #2 They certainly look like a colourful bunch. Easy to see them inspiring a song or two ;)
    @Ostadan #1 That's one way of removing a spotlight! XD The director seems very passionate about his work
    @Gopherus #02 A more aptly cast doctor for the title :) 
    @Daventaki #1 Gotta keep up that tough guy image somehow ;)
    @Gopherus #03 Anything for immortality :)
    @Totte:#3 Easy mistake to make... XD
    @f.boschanski #1 Haha, that's a zany one! XD Her expression is great
    @f.boschanski #2 Yes, I can see that one being censored for the kids XD
    @adamsrobt: #1 Wow, nothing's sacred. AI is infiltrating everything these days XD
    @luci45:#3 Deep learning or learning of the deep? ;)
    @Gopherus #04 Not the ham sandwiches! XD
    @Daventaki#02 Quick! Pull out the weed wacker!
    @luci45:#4 C'mon Picard, you have to agree that this 'shakes things up' XD
    @Gopherus #05 Just make sure she doesn't have a spare set...
    @Totte:#04 I take it he's not into mix 'n match XD
    @Zethara #1 No need to worry; they only want to help with the realism ;)
    @luci45#5 All good business partnerships need to start somewhere :)

    Thanks, Gopherus, Totte, Zethara and aprilshowers2065. (Gopherus, having a dark sense of humor Calais called them "Freedom Fries.")

    Gopherus #05 Poor, Meg! I think she wants those teeth back. I like the wicked grin of the woman in front. So, a whole PC bundle? Nice job!
    Totte:#04 Great crazy use of a crazy pull and a non-fitting jacket! I love the bearded drone camera operator.
    Zethara#1 Nice drama from contrast between dragons on lame claymation scene!
    aprilshowers2065: #1 Well, that worked out well. Minotaurs can be temperamental.
    Gopherus #06 A lot of damn skeeters! I used to listen to Burl Ives as a kid but didn't remember the words. I hope the horses don't get bitten and throw the ladies in a ditch.

    Why The Hollywood Writer's Strike Ended
    Several of the Hollywood movie producers were thrilled by the latest writers' strike, because it would be cheap and hassle-free to just tell the AI to produce a script with all the best parameters, like aliens, time travel, busty babes and fifties musicals. After viewing the results, it was decided that AI wasn't quite ready yet.

    Thank you @luci45 - haven't rended anything in a while so RRRR felt a little like coming home.  For the most part I rely on the pose architect products these days to get me 85% of the way to the poses I want - in my opinion, they do a really good job with center of balance as claimed!  And I got lucky with the Christmas Cotton Fabric Iray Shaders - a surefire way to add RRRR wackiness to any render ;)

    --------------------------------------------

    And some of my new favorites:

    luci45 #6 - Why The Hollywood Writer's Strike Ended
    So spot on - that is exactly what would happen.  Amazing and intrictate detail as always.  Great fun and makes an important statement!

    aprilshowers2065: #1 - Controversial  Casting Choice
    Great idea and great execution - I like the sense of movement and the subtle lighting effects are well done.

    Zethara - Pull 1 - The Greatest Dragon Adventure: Behind the Scenes
    Terrific idea - I like the way you draw us into the scene with the dialogue and the pose of the character.  Fun reversal as well which proves: don't mess with dragons!

    f.boschanski - Jippy Goes Nuts V2
    It's interesting to see you evolve this concept - yes, this is much cleaner allowing us to focus on the fun.  Excellent expression and the background araches work well, I think, to balance the composition.

    Totte #04 -  The Palermo Grey
    Yes, behind every major producer power meeting is an astrolger!  So very Hollywood!  Great setup and use of shadows.  Well done!

    Gopherus #05 - Now We Can Go Into the Water Again!
    Wonderfully fun and wacky concept, true RRRR moment! I like the tone and lighting.

    @bohemian3: Nice poses and expressions; they look like they're ready to burst out into song ;)

    @luci45: #6 From the looks of it, they'll needs a few more years of improvement, me thinks XD

    @bohemian3  #01  Nice!  it must take hours for all the special effects and this captures the look and feel of the backstage
