Any suggestions / opinions ?
Hi Megan - don't forget to render out as 16:9 - because it will give you better compositions; in terms of colour, I suggest you derive a colour palette from some additional visual resource - to guide you, but also to give you the confidence to put some bold colours together; for example, if you look at 1950's b-movie posters:

Go bold in terms of colour - but consider a more 'graphical' approach to colour, shape and form.
