Thanks! I agree. I was trying to go for a dark depressing/scary mood but missed a lot of detail that was important to the story. Here is the final frame without final colour correction 
Looks wonderful.
I like the framing a lot more, and the colder color correction looks good.
(It obviously depends on the tone of the context and scene, but this style still looks neat.)
The light coming from the doorway is just one of those great details that I missed with the first picture.
It looks fantastic. Great job.
The frame is nicely balanced, and I love the practical lighting.
Thanks, glad the lighting works!
I did some practical effects for my D&L entry, and one of those is using an iPhone screen to display an image, then masking around a certain area to make the iPhone go away, while keeping the part of the screen that needs to be there. Long story short, I have been doing some masking, and i need some opinions on if it looks good or not:
I posted a similar frame to this a little while ago on another topic, and it was really badly done, so I'm trying to improve it. Please share your comments and suggestions!

As far as masking goes, I think it looks good, rio! I'm a little confused as to what this is supposed to be, though. Is it like a screen behind some sort of bubble?
Edit: It looks like there's a little bit of light peeking through right below the minifig's helmet.

I think it looks pretty darn good, I like the effect you've achieved; and I'd imagine it will look even better in motion when tiny flaws are extremely hard to spot.
It's a really neat effect but the screen seems too bright. It might look better if you dimmed the image a bit. It may look too dim in real life when it looks like it has the right brightness for the shot.
Looks great, Rioforce. Especially if you're going for a hologram-type effect.
It's not an upcoming brickfilm, just a scene to test if I could achieve dingy prison lighting.
I haven't animated for so long, it's taken a few days to get up to scratch.
I'm not done with this yet, but I'm not sure what I should do to make it better. Any suggestions? (The lighting isn't done yet)
Why is one door a normal house door, and the other one is a glass door That makes it look a bit out of place. Usually offices in the same building have the same kind of door. Also, (this is just a nitpick) signs look more professional if you type them and print them out then if you write them with a pen (unless it plays into the story).
Is he a real stock broker? Because I would never trust a stock broker who resorts to hand-written signs with my money.
@rioforce, There is actually only one door in the picture. The others are all windows. Perhaps I should make that more clear.
I will for sure switch it to a typed sign. I will also search for my elusive "glass" doors to replace the house door.
Thanks to you both.
also, if you added the persons last name, so, say it was "Spencer Stock Brokers" might look even better.
I think the problem is that there are three pillars and two spaces. The human brain likes symmetry, and so we conclude they are both doors because that would be symmetrical. If you have the parts, I'd suggest putting another window in on the other side.
AND JUST IGNORE MY FRAME WHY DON'T YOU?

AND JUST IGNORE MY FRAME WHY DON'T YOU?
we made a secret pact at midnight for all of us to ignore your frame. we would have invited you to the ritural frame ignoring ceremony, but, it'd really be a conflict of interests for you... so we decided to have it without you instead. I ate your Marshmallows.
the lighting looks good, I still think your much to high and need to go off the tripods, or whatever to lower the camera. 
Oh. Well that's lovely. 
Too high? Is that not an acceptable camera angle?
I enjoyed the Marshmallow. such a shame Im allergic to them though, and are now writing this from a hospital bed....
it feels like its looking down on the minifigure, but, not enough to be CCTV....
maybe a smidge lower, and move he camera so he is sorta like 2/3rds across the screen, not the 3/3rds... might make it better...
but, you dont have to listen to me, after all, I ate your marshmallow.
