There we go, a perfect perspective change, though instead of moving the camera, James moved gravity. That's the kind of thing you don't see anywhere but in animation. Hopefully, they remember to jump just before they hit bottom, or at least Big Jill doesn't smash li'l Bucky. Whatever happens, he's going to bite his tongue off when they stop. Volley 3 is often a bit weak as the reality of the time crunch sets in, but James responded well to the challenge and made some quick but smart/dramatic changes to the existing content.
Unless that umbrella gets a lot bigger, these kids are in trouble. Save them, Trevor! Will this be a pattern, James puts our protagonists in peril, and Trevor rescues them? Maybe it's time for Fly Guy to make an appearance?
Soundtrack to this volley: "S.O.S." by the Breeders, but the way they used to play it live before Last Splash came out, with more screaming.
Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Bryan Bedell.

Tomorrow we continue our series of live, experimental Layer Tennis Exhibitions with a motion graphics match between Matt Smithson and Daniel Oeffinger. As usual, the action starts at 2pm Chicago time. Check the time in your area. What is unusual is that the match won't finish until next Thursday. We'll be posting two layers per weekday. We've always wondered what would happen if we gave a couple artists a lot more time to do each volley and this week we'll find out. Commentary is by Jason Koxvold, who knows a little something about LYT and mo-graf. Jason's Match Preview has been posted and so has the coin-flip.
Naz and Sam Peeling Back the Layers on last Friday's amazing photographic and musical live Layer Tennis Match. No Tennis this week by the way, we'll be back live on the 19th
