It is already the time to think about Christmas cards. My wife saw a really cool idea on Pinterest. It is basically a kids 'Little Tikes'' pedel car with the child 'bring home' the christmas tree. Throw the three on top and the kid inside and you have a nice card. I know we cant post other peoples pictures here - this is a link to Pinterest if anyone wants to check it out - https://www.pinterest.com/pin/445997169319083610/
My questions/thoughts
I will certainly post my progress as I go... I will appreciate any comments on this idea any certainly any comments when I post my first attempt with a stuff animal stand in for my son.
My questions/thoughts
- Background - Natural or Composite - I live in the city. I dont have got access to a natural background like this without traveling far by car. I also had concerns with my mid-level amateur status that it would take me a long time to set up outside and my family would either freeze to death or get bored out of their mind waiting for me to get everything ready. If I were to do this inside on grey seamless would be be feaseable for a first time compositor to add back a background as good or better then this? If I were to set up outside I was thinking maybe setting up near the three store.. Or taking a photo of that seperatly and trying to composite it together.
- Car - all one color - Those cars dont come all red. Spraypaint or photoshop? I have access to a used car and could spray paint it but was wondering if that makes the most sense to paint it all red or just adjust after shooting it as-is
- Snow - this looks like some fake snow on the wheels with the rest in photoshop. Can you buy fake snow from a craft store? Is that falling snow totally done in photostop or did they drop something in air when taking photo?
- Any other ideas that could improve on this idea?
