It's not everyday you are asked to make things look "fake". That was part challenge that I was faced with for this project. The other "part of the challenge" was to make it believable...
Turning humans into doll like figures and placing them in to a "live" scene.
Below you can see a shot of Rachel holding and empty doll box. The shot to the right we see the "Industry doll" added to the scene. It was a few extra hours of post production and a learning experience for me...
This is what my Layers palette looked like...Awesome!
What was fun about this shoot was the client really wanted a "synthetic feel" for the dolls. The shot on the left is the original and then you can see the process of making the doll. Lots of Liquefy tool was used along with Free Transform, Cloning tool & Noise Ninja. Shooting the right angle and rotation of her body was the most important part of matching Katherine up with her previously shot "doll box". Notice the change in the color of the leggings. Asked for by the Client.
