Thanks for your suggestions everyone. I'll try to get more adventurous with my lighting and subject matter. This was done with limited time and subject matter.
- Lighting is too flat, try to shape it a little more -
. . .I thought the warm lighting and the cool (blueish) lighting would help the separation within the frame. What do you think could of helped?
- Next time try H.264 with settings on high and a high bitrate -
. . .Its odd cause that is the codec I used with settings on high. Maybe the bitrate wasn't high enough. Do you think this may have caused this?
Thank you again everyone!
