2005 Spring ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Ashley Kremenliff Ashley Kremenliff   Final Scene   Batter Up   Inspiration With the reappearance of the sun last month, my boyfriend and I had started making trips to Fun Land, the local batting cages here in Chico.  I’m not the greatest softball player so I tend to hit the ball directly over my head and when I do this I’m always afraid that the ball is going to come back down and hit me on the head.  Because I have a huge batting helmet on my head, I can never see where exactly the ball has gone to in these situations.  It was because of this that I decided to create a scene located at a batting cage, taken from the perspective of the batter underneath these gigantic batting helmets.
