i'm afraid it doesnt quite sound that good technically as far as the lighting goes. I sat him on a poster board outside at night and grabbed a flashlight (one of my favorite 'lights') and a peice of paper. I wrapped the paper around the top of the flash light, held it over him in different angles, and found this to be my favorite. I think it was shot at 1/8 of a second, handheld (but leaning against the ground). thanks for the comments! i shall have to post more of mr. toad, he has some dramatic poses.
