Mini Me Initial Idea

For our first semester assignment we were set the task of putting a miniature version of ourselves into a scene using just original images. For this assignment we will be assessed on our skills using Adobe Photoshop e.g. the use of layers, masking, colour correction and matching whilst also displaying our photography skills using a camera, lighting and a green screen.

After being told what the assignment was I started thinking of films I could use as a reference and inspiration. Above are a few of the images I found on the internet that where fairly related to the subject at hand. The images are from a variety of film such as; The Indian In The Cupboard, Ant-Man, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Peter Pan, Hook The Borrowers Movie and TV Movie, Alice In Wonderland, FernGully, Stewart Little and Arrietty. These are all useful as each film has scene where a miniature person encounters normal or very large objects.

I also found a number of images where miniature models had been placed in a variety of different poses. These images where very useful as they all showed the miniature model people interacting with their surroundings in an interesting and ingenious way.
