Well my origianal concept was used, twice, so I figured I would venture down a different path.
Obviously I am still playing around with angles and lighting but these three I feel are my strongest



Yeah and me I suppose (which means you used mine
).
Great picture quality, I love the background (behind the windows), but there's something that makes this absolutely NOT mysterious. I think it's the lightning that's too bright. And wtf is that guy doing? ![]()
I've got an entry coming up. Just judge tomorrow. Please.
EDIT: Hope you guys like it:

Yeah ark11 and T.G-Tom, you guys beat me to the punch. You two both had good entries and I wanted to do a silhoette of a guy in a door way or something. Nothing wrong, I just wanted something original.
It's a bit not mysterious, I will give you that; I guess it is the lighting. I was trying to stay away from dark shadowy figures and instead use bright color, but maybe I went too far. My third entry I was focusing more on it being darker.
I was going for a uni-bomber feel. The two guys in the office are opening a mysterious package left behind by a mysterious hooded gentleman.

*ahem*...At first glance, 'WTF' is probably the best description of what the guy's doing. However, after staring at it for 30 minutes, I figured out that the guy is trying to open the box at a distance, scared that it might contain a bomb or some such, and the other guy is wigging out. And the hooded guy in the background is probably the one who put that box there, and is just waiting for those guys to be blown to kingdom come.
amirite or amirite?

Way too complex for a cinematography entry. A mysteriously hooded gentleman, peering in through the window would have made much more sense.
I don't know, Spudster. It was nice to see a mystery frame with an inherent mystery, and I was able to figure things out after thinking for a bit. Not to mention the fact that the quality was definitely better than in the past.

Bricklord-urrite, 30 mins though, I guess I failed again huh? Too complex, I just can't seem to find the balance...
Spudster- well their is a mysteriously hooded guy peering in the third frame, but I gave him a reason to be peering into the window.
Jargon- glad you enjoyed figuring it out

Here is my next entry. I hope you recognize it, because it is the most famous mystery ever.
correct!
It took place in the day if you played the game in the day.

That was supposed to be lightning, I guess the light lost its blue due to compression, crap!

Well, maybe I exaggerated how much time it took me just a little.
Ballots closed, judging soon.
Thank god, my internet just miraculously starting working so I could judge this.
1. GreenScreener
Awesome, the cinematography is very movie-like. Nice work, good photoshopping.
2. T.G-Tom
Wow nice work on the cgi, dude. Looks good, and I like the cinematography.
3. PJ_pund (3rd entry)
I really like this one, I can understand what's going on, the other two had me in complete confusion. Great camera quality!
4. Real Brick (1,2)
I really don't like the lighting in both of these entries, it seems fake. Aside from that they're ok, but they're still not that great.
5. Ark11 (3,2,1)
I like the cinematography in the last entry, although the light in back is a bit bright, and there's a bit too much empty space. The other two aren't fantastic, the first one looks like it has no cinematography at all, and the lighting looks completely fake. I like the setting though, it could have been a lot better. An overhead shot might of been good, and if you got better lighting.
6. Slash Studios
I can't tell what's going on, also the lighting is incredibly bad. A lot of darkness on the left, it doesn't make the shot look good.
Go, Greenscreener!
