13 December 2008, Reality Shoot

From dancing dogs, spilling popcorn, steak eating rabbits, and breathtaking scenery, this Reality Shoot of Mike and Laynie was quite an exciting production!

Blogged By: Bryan

Here is the first stage during pre-production for Reality Shoot, where Mike takes sample images I send him, and roughly builds them up in Photoshop before drawing the final sketch. That way we can start building textures and getting proportions right.



I was driving through the deserts of Utah, searching for the backdrop, when I received this final sketch from Mike on my iPhone. I had stopped earlier that day at a rest stop to take some photos of my face with the expressions I wanted Mike to use as references for the sketch. I rely so much on mobile communications now, and I am always so impressed with my crew for how well they perform, even when I am hundreds or even thousands of miles away!



So here it is... the final image! I will have this up on realityshoot.com ASAP, but until then -with this image being so small on the blog, as to hide most of the fun details- I list some things to look for.

-spilling popcorn
-Milk Dud filled doggie bowl
-chalk bag
-black and white rabbit eating a steak
-dancing dog
-magic cards

Hope you have as much fun with this image as I did!

6 February 2009 - 8:21:53 - Bryan Thanks Steve, I am glad my work does what it is supposed to do my friend, that is to make people smile and laugh, and I am glad you enjoyed the interview! Thanks Matt, yes, it was my first broad daylight picture, that of course did not take place in broad daylight, so I am glad the warmth from Bryce Canyon came through. Wes, and Katie I am happy to see all the detail I go crazy over is being seen... even at this small scale on the blog. Debbi, good to hear you enjoy the work, and Ed I hope to continue inspiring, thanks again everyone. I should be shooting my next production at the end of this month or early next so stay tuned!
