This is the lake house where I'm staying right now. It has NO light except the window on the right, so I used a spare mirror and lamps to try to get some light from the left. Then, had to bring in stuff to keep the mirror from sliding down...
Set it all up and used a timer with me running back and forth, up and down onto the table and then called in my monkey model.
Positioning and lighting were most difficult. It took me almost all day to get it set up.
Thanks for the the set-up shot and the explanation. I had thought your son was stationed much further back (then again, those ceramic monkeys are much bigger than I imagined).
