Surreal Project: "You are what you eat... literally"

The lighting worked out pretty well for my final image (thank you to my fellow classmates that made it happen!) The main issue that I had was with color, since each miniature version of me had different colored lights reflected off them. I decided to change it to sepia in order to unify the colors. It also gives it a look that reminds of a classic monster movies like King Kong and Godzilla, since there is a giant centered in the background terrorizing little people who are trying to runaway into the foreground.

Surreal Project: The Shots and the Idea

The idea behind my surreal project is to take the saying "you are what you eat" literally. The finalized image will have a sense of humor to it. The poses shot against the green screen will be scaled and placed on the shot with me at the dinner table. The green screen shots will be scaled down so that they appear to be miniature versions of me running around and trying to escape the more larger me. The miniature people will be placed in the plate, cup, soup bowl, and running into the foreground.

Surreal Project: Inspiration - Pedro Meyer

My surreal project is inspired by the work of Pedro Meyer. An element that he uses that I wanted to use is the way he used scale. In some parts of each of these example compositions are scaled so that they create a hierarchy of foreground and background. Objects or people that are normally small look larger based on how they are scaled and placed in the scene.
