This assignment was actually called "Hard Select" but I prefer "Mini Me" because the assignment was to miniaturize ourselves and Photoshop ourselves into a different scene. So, I got out my shrink ray and aimed it at myself. My dad helped me up onto the string of his ukulele.....and that's how we got this shot ;) kinda....For the self portrait I was hanging on monkey bars at the park to try to mimic the way I would be hanging from the string of a ukulele. And when I shot the ukulele, I pulled down the bottom string with some fishing wire to make it look like something was pulling down on it. I pasted myself into the picture (after some hard core detailed delete work) and painted in some shadows to make it look realistic......but I like the shrink ray story much better...
Why were you hiding in a guitar? lol I hear thats bad for the sound...good pic tho

ReplyDeleteWell, Jay.....it's not a guitar. It's a ukulele ;) but yes, it definately does mess with the sound :) thanks everyone
ReplyDeletethis is AWESOME!!!!!
ReplyDeletelooks really good but are your hands supposed to be cupped or rounded to be holding onto the sting?
ReplyDeleteI'm just supporting myself by holding myself up on the string. For the original picture I was on top of monkey bars, and they were a lot thicker than the ukulele strings, so there might be some space under my hands.
