Forced perspective is an optical illusion used to make objects seem bigger or smaller than their real size. Since the camera makes things look flat, the lens can create depth the eyes cannot. The first picture I used my hand to make it seem like I was holding the sun. The second was made by having Emma lay in the Millis tile display on her back. She's sideways but the picture makes it look like she's just sitting there.
To make this I first took a picture of a wall outside the school. I used a picture from softball that was taken by Brenna's mom (Eileen Nelson Photography). I basically had to use photoshop for the whole thing. I had to rasterize the layer and adjust the threshold. I then had to change the color range and use the brush tool. Then I put it over my wall picture and adjusted it as I saw fit. I used the eraser to get rid of some of the top of the picture so it wasn't so square looking. I went to dafont and downloaded "Varsity" by Broderbund Software. I used it for the text at the bottom which stands for "Millis Girls Varsity Softball". I liked this process but it was difficult because a lot of the time during the threshold step it wouldn't show up correctly and I had to try another picture. To make the butterfly effect I used photoshop. I changed around the size of my pictures and then put them on a white background. I made duplicate layers and dragged the side of the photo so it reflected |
