For Pros only, am I breaking the 180 rule of thumb?

My alum, friend and paintball fanatic Jessica. T is teaching a cartooning class.  My "expertise" was call upon helping her with one of the assignments she is planning.  The big question was about "180 Degree" rule, commonly associated with continuity issues in filming, as well as story boarding.  After getting the script I roughly sketched out this story board and sent it on this way.  It's been a long time since I last worked on any story boarding, it actually felt great !! :)
The script :

THREE PEOPLE STAND IN A MASSIVE GRAVEYARD, A MAUSOLEUM, AT SUNSET—A BUILT MAN, ABOUT AGE 30, AN OLD, BALDING PREACHER, AND A YOUNG WOMAN, STANDING IN AN ADVENTUROUS POSE.

THE THREE OF THEM LOOK LEFT IN SYNC AT ROWS AND ROWS OF ASSORTED GRAVESTONES, THEN LOOK RIGHT—MORE ROWS OF GRAVESTONES, OF ALL SORTS OF ASSORTED SHAPES (TOMBSTONES, STATUES OF ANGELS, COLUMNS, AND LARGE CROSSES.

THE THREE LOOK BACKWARDS AT THE SETTING SUN AND WATCH AS IT DISAPPEARS OVER THE HORZON, CREATING A SILHOUETTED LANDSCAPE CROWNED BY THREE FIGURES AND DOTTED BY HUNDREDS OF TOMBSTONES.

SUDDENLY, HANDS BEGIN TO ERUPT FROM THE GRAVES SURROUNDING THEM—ZOMBIES! THE MAN READIES HIS FISTS TO FIGHT, THE WOMAN LIFTS HER LEG IN A KICKING POSE, AND THE PREACHER RAISES HIS CROSS AND BIBLE ABOVE HIS HEAD.

Works

School is going well, it's good have a great studio space next to great friends:) All girls and NO secrets!   For Lisa's class we are doing a study and a still life.  My set up in the studio is not as ambitious as the class set up (no green frogs or plastic snakes).

Still life set up in my studio

Monochromatic study of the still life
To simplify the tone and shape, a fast study is to establish compositions that when move to the full color we would know how it is going to be framed (compositionally). 

My pigments

These are the pigments I am using for the full color still life, as to the study, I'm only using Mars Black, Zinc White & Earth Red.

 

Portrait in progress
This is my own project, the goal is to maintain the vibrancy of tone.

A Monochromatic Study of A Still Life

Margaret Bowland's Class

 

A video introduction/interview of NYAA, it was played for the orientation this year.  I thought it's kind of neat.  The interviews of the second years (now graduated) just brought some much good memories!

Drawing, drawing, drawing...painting!

Just came back from the mixer, got to see works by the first years. Really. Impressed.  Gotta have to work extra hard to be able to put out a good graduation!

A sketch study of multiple casts in Lisa Bartolozzi's "Technique of Painting" class.  Love Lisa, love UD!  (Deer park rocks!)

Portrait of Ellen wearing red helmet in progress-- life is constantly in progress isn't it?

Studies

Doing a study on a new painting. The model came, sat and put on a pair of flashy red aviation helmet goggle. The image was there, in the matter of seconds, a composition emerged.

Study

Graphite on Canvas (not recommended)

I plan to put a layer of transparent green on the graphite first and paint on top of that.  It will be interesting, we'll see.
