Anyway, using the 180 degree digital painting, the idea was to simply pan the background whist the actor sort of spins around smoothly and slides across a bit. Now, this is considerably more difficult than it sounds, and we got the first idea of what a huge task it would be to rehearse a complete show made up of shots like this. After many takes and lols, we got a few that we were pleased with, including the one below.
Also this video is a bit strange in that the timeline believes it is 22 minutes long. I assure you it will be a very long time until we post a video that is actually 22 minutes long...

Things to improve for next time: reshape the actor's light spot, increase size of orange spot, decrease contrast, make back of actor's spot black instead of brown and perhaps add another reference point such as a near-closeup object that moves at a different speed to the background.
Also, we made cookies today, full of M&Ms. Jack even time-lapse filmed them. But, we baked them for too long and they ended up as biscuits. And the time-lapse didn't come out very good because they didn't change at all. We better stick to brownies next time.
