Out Takes
Three rejections and what each one taught. Every number is a frame difference measured on the exported file — the region that must be still, against the region that must move.
He said the ground and the distant lake were moving the same way the close-up water does. They were: the mossy rock measured 16.03 against the foreground water's 9.51 — the ground was moving MORE than the water. Two faults. The mask could not tell wet stone from water, and amplitude was one number for the whole picture when perspective says distant water must move less. Waterfall to distant lake went from 8:1 to 23:1.
