Directions: Portrait: extra ideas









After struggling to find a software for morphing images, I came across an image that inspired me.




This image is from the opening titles of True Detective, season 1 . The entire opening titles features a technique called double exposures. This is when you have two (or more) different sequences overlaying each other to create a somewhat "blended" effect.

After being reminded of this great title sequence, It sprung so many new ideas in my head. I immediately knew that if I learned the technique  for overlaying and double exposing, I would be able to combine past videos of me with a "current" me. 

I found a video on youtube demonstrating the style that I would like to incorporate in the production and it was also a tutorial.


Although the tutorial is in Spanish, some parts of it seems simple to follow to get the desired effect. I also found an english version:



What I love about this effect the most is the ability it gives you to enhance nature and landscapes (or anything really). I really love the tone it gives and I really want to create a nice mood for my production.

I learnt that this could be just as good after watching someone create a brilliant prosthetic that way.  In the video here you can see that she has moulded the clay in to the desired shape and preps it for the covering of the liquid latex. I then proceeded to doing the same.   I was using coloured, oil based clay for mine. I was then required to sprinkle flour over mine to thicken the layer of the latex. I would repeat that until I was happy with the thickness. In the same tutorial, she moulded teeth for her zombie and I thought it would've been cool to do the same. ...
