    This must be the modern, hi tech version of waving the white sheet; seen in the background of early motoring photos!

    Clever stuff technically, but to be honest it looks beautiful just sitting on that plain background. In fact in the magazine shots, it produces complex reflections along the wings etc that if anything, detract from it’s lovely curves. I don’t say this without reason. I’ve been a designer and art director for longer than I care to remember and sometimes less really is more. This is more for if you’re trying to make a Morris Marina exciting.

    To add to what I’ve just written – look at shot number 5 in the gallery version of this shoot. Best of the lot.

    Has this video now been taken down?

    Russell,

    It’s still there in the video section of the website.

    Cheers,

    I’m in the multimedia section (videos) and there is just a blank space where the video should be embedded:

    Russell,

    It’s working here, on both IE and Firefox. Are you using a different browser?
