Composition on Exterior Daytime Lighting

This is a render of my favorite scene that I worked on in my shading and lighting course at Full Sail University. The reason it's my favorite is not only because its the most detailed and advanced project I've worked through so far but also because its the first time I did a project of this magnitude; which helped to prove that I have a fighting chance in becoming an artist no matter how many times I crashed and burned along the way. I had many failures but it ended in the most positive way.

Also in this course we were instructed to research more into our career industry. The research I did was on a recording of Stuart Barnaby. He speaks to the reporter about the software required for making seemingly simple commercials and such that have unnatural behaviors that seem real but are not. The example he gave was a dolphin jumping through fireworks. The reason I found the recording important was because it stood as a reminder, for me, of the difficult processes I'd face.
