 I must give some credit for the shot to Dr. Jeuss. I figured image grain would work well in three types of shots: 1) nostalgic 2) melancholy or 3) minimal. While thinking of ideas I remembered in my mind his shot of his little girl counting in the corner. I thought it would work well as a punishment motif rather than a joyful one. Voila! Here we are.

Noise was added via Image Grain and then slightly modified (a trade secret) to make it more filmlike (don't worry, it's legal). I wanna say my Grain settings were 4/15/2.

Terrific idea, executed very well. Just another day in the DrAchoo portfolio. :) One of the very few where grain mattered and improved it.

This is also a little spooky if you saw The Blair Witch Project.

nice idea. i think the lighting and compsotion is perfect for the shot. i noticed too that the corner where she is standing is a bit darker than the other wall-- i think this adds to the mood. great job.
