Poster Mock-Up #1 -
This is the Mock-up #1. There is a fair amount of post-production work in photoshop in here. I tried to make it as over the top as possible. It may need more fireball. I need to work on the muzzle flash a little (a lot).
I shot the photos on a blue chroma key background. Truthfully, I'm not sure that made a huge difference in how easy or hard it was to cut out the people. I think almost any contrasting color background would have worked just as well. I definitely didn't light even enough, that said, having the plane background made cutting them out a relative snap. The hair, as you might imagine, was the hardest, but my trick there was to let the color-select do most of the work, and then I came back in quick-mast and drew back a bunch of the hair using my tablet and a fine 2pt brush. It wasn't dead on accurate but for this application it worked.
