Gundam Weapons

I've been really fascinated by "panorama" pictures lately... This one comes from the smart suggestion of Roger Chang, to whom goes all my gratitude. I decided to set the scene in a snowy ambient, placing the two robots as if they were starting a simulated training battle. I put computer-like windows over the screen to give the idea of someone checking the evolution of the battle from a control room.

To better convey this idea I applied striped interferences and white noise to the image, so that it looks like the A/V transmission was distorted by bad weather conditions. The snow was created with HyperVoxels and retouched in Photoshop to give it a fuzzyer aspect. The gas effect around the sword was created in post-production too.
