ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: I only decided to enter this round in the last couple of days. Since I had no time to do a serious image, I decided to do a comedy one. That said, this image does actually use some quite technical stuff. 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED:

The man was created in Poser 4, and the motion was exported as 30 individual frames in to Wavefront format. The wavefront files were then converted to POV format using PoseRay. The materials were hand-tweaked in POV and a frame-based animation system was set up. The background is an HDR image (High Dynamic Range) because I have been experimenting with HDR images recently, and so the final animation needed to be rendered using ML Pov. I have also applied a small amount of focal blur to the person so that they fit in with the HDR image a little better.
