The Look

Hi, here is a link to a recent finished personal project.
Would like to hear peoples views and critique.
user added image

https://sircharlesgraham.tv/THE_LOOK.html

Rendered with mental Ray area light, final gather, bokeh depth of field and Gauss filtering.

There was some flickering of text on many of the pages which I couldn't seem to sort out.

The renders also took about a day for 200 - 300 frames. I guess this is down to the depth of field and area light.

Have a look..
Graham.

I like it. Has a nice feel to it.. great song too btw.

I think that the pages have a bit too much reflection, look too glossy, plasticky.. that hi-light stripe.. I'd tone it down/remove it. That reflection also appears in the bottom left corner of each page for few frames.. it's unnecessary imho.
