Photoshop

In our first photoshop induction, we were taught the basics of photoshop, like masking, editing and blending, as well as how to access the backgrounds  and adjust colours to make it fit with the scene. We had to manipulate Disney's Wall-e character for the example, so I created a scene involving 4 images of Wall-e at different distances from the viewer, and I placed them in front of a city skyline and adjusted the colours to fit with the night-time theme. Then, as all the Wall-e's were looking up at something, I added in a picture of earth from space so that they had something to look at. To finish it off, I was playing around with the artists effects that are available on photoshop and I decided that I really liked the look of the oil paint one and I stuck with that on each layer apart from the background.


Then we were let loose from set tasks and allowed to manipulate any image or do anything we wanted to. Let our imaginations run wild! And as I'd just watched Wreck-it Ralph again the night before, I decided to take the characters out of their video game world, and drop them in a real world bus stop. I had to adjust the lighting and colour so that it looked like they might actually be at the bus stop, and erasing the picture around each character took a long time, but I really like the way it turned out.
