Buffyverse Dialogue Database - EPISODE: 'Bring on the Night'

NOTES ON EPISODE ART: CREATED 01/2003 ~Not too much to report here... I thought each one of the "blast from the past" guest stars should be represented, so I picked a cap of each I liked and started moving them around the edges of the canvas. That made it by definition face-heavy, so I decided to counteract that by creating a sense of space in the middle with the cap of Buffy wandering alone just before she's attacked by the Uber-Vamp. Willow in the throes of the spell was cool looking, so I put it up in the corner, and given how central to the plot he was, I had to include an Uber-vamp cap. A brief cameo by the proto-slayers at the top filled in that little bit of available space, and then the left corner was left for battered Buffy (while she's sitting alone in her chair, before she goes in to give her speech) with battered Spike superimposed over her. Oh, and the sunrise from after Buffy escapes the pit was a good transition between the darkness of the dru cap and the brightness of the Willow cap, so I stuck it over there. The coloring was mostly already there, I just heightened it, bringing out the blues in most of the image and the orangy bits in the upper right corner. I added a bit of motion by using the motion blur filter in conjunction with one of the distort filters to add a wave to the blur on a partially masked layer.
