Thank you browj2. That is impressive and fun to watch. An inspired use of Stygg's suggestion of a life-ring for Gary.
You have breathed life into the picture.

That is really good browj2, I hope who ever was hanging on to that ring was rescued

I'm pleased that you both liked this video trick. What struck me about the photo was the apparent speed of the water, the waves and ripples, and I thought that this might be a good test of PhotoMirage. Photos that I've tried this on in the past did not have the same fast-flowing water and the results were not as good.

I tried doing the animation in Xara by giving the life ring a bit of 3D thickness. It seems that Xara does not like tweening 3D movements. So, I'll leave it like that until I have the time to try it in BluffTitler. Maybe I can add in Bix hanging on to the life ring.

I think someone just fell in! anyone going to throw the life ring ?

Stygg,

Well done! It blends right into the scene.

Stygg,

A nifty and subtle addition. It looks completely authentic.

Stygg,

The life ring being obvious, I just noticed the splash in the water. I thought at first that it looked like a water bear.
