Poster Images
We’ve completed a couple of the poster images for AMT Productions. I personally hate photoshop and would happily throw it onto the nearest motorway, but Rachael has been very patient and tried to teach me some basics.
I decided to try what I thought were the easiest ones. Lord Of The Rings and Clerks….simples…or not.
The actual Posters will be made by the AMT team but we wanted to get the images as close to the inspirational ones as possible. The Lord of The Rings was problematic due to the original positioning of the hand and the colour tone. Rach taught me how to cut out the arm and move it and also how to burn and fade the shadows.
Clerks is a very iconic poster to people of a certain generation and although we couldn’t get the angle quite right (height issues, even with a stepladder and a chap of over 6 foot tall!) I think we caught it quite well. I had to convert to black and white then cut out all of the actors and place onto a white background. As you can see i seem to have mastered the cut out tooly thingy, but I can’t get rid of the pesky shadows…maybe another lesson is in order.
Studio Shoot
We’ve been working with AMT again. This time in an actual studio!
They had a very good idea of what they wanted, they came to us with around 10 posters for famous films and wanted them recreating using the cast of their new webseries Ramblers. This presented us with difficulties, the main one being that a lot of the posters were heavily photoshopped, which meant that we had to spend a while dissecting them and taking numerous shots for one poster.
We are currently still working on the posters, but they also wanted various shots for their ramblers site including headshots and sponsor shots.
AMT Shoot.
Amt asked us to shoot some pictures for their revamped website (www.askmetomorrow.com ). They have recently added a new member to the team and wanted to have some shots of all of them together. They were unclear of how they wanted the pictures to feel and left it up to us.
Knowing what their new project is about and how much they like tea we met in a lovely place called North Tea Power in Manchester. they were happy enough to let us use it (as a plus point they have wonderful teas!)
As is the norm in Manchester the weather was rubbish and cloudy. we found a few locations and decided in post processing to make the pictures have a film like feel.
Here are some results;
