2 Views of the Dodge Power Wagon Set-up Shot
As I always say: "Nothing fancy going on here."
The most challenging aspect for me is getting the composition right: it has to
look natural, even if it's a glamor shot.
So with just 3 vehicles and some sifted dirt on a painted styrene base, how
does one go about making it look real?
I think about how people drive and park cars. What is enough distance between vehicles in order to open a door and get out? If people are meeting in a field, does everyone just park side by side or is there a randomness to it? Even if this is just a miniature set, I feel there are certain natural laws that
must be taken into account.
I apologize for blathering on here, but I wanted to give some insight into the process.
Here's the finished shot:
