Levitation illusion using photoshop masks

Equipment

There are a lot of different things to consider when exercising levitation.

For the photos in the blog post we used:

• A Chair

• A tripod and a low height

• Low angles

• Camrea

• Settings- camrea 55mm

• aperture f.5.6

• Shutter speed (center dial)

• manual focous

In this picture, we had Emmy hold Jeylin up by a pinch of her hoodie. This was a creative and fun idea.

The picture of Jeylin being held up by her hoodie worked out really well, I think. I think when I was editing this with PS I could've edited it smoother, but other than that I am proud of this picture. Next time, I think I am going to do this in a different location and blend it out smoother and make it clearer.

While taking these pictures, we had to consider if the chair we were using was going to be difficult to edit out or not. We also had to consider he low angle or the camrea and the way the shot was going to end up. Another thing we had to consider was if the photos looked believable or not.

This picture is of Emmy levitating as if she's being lifted in the air. This looks cool because it seems she is just floating there.

• Camrea

• Settings- camrea 55mm

• aperture f.5.6

• Shutter speed (center dial)

• manual focous

The picture of Emmy being lifted in the air, we had to consider if the angel of the camrea was going to affect the space between the end of the picture and Emmy's head. The main thing that I had to make sure to consider was to line up the bare picture and the picture of Emmy on the chair.

For this picture we used the same equipment as the last one.

To create the picture of Emmy being lifted in the air, we had to take a picture of the bare wall. After taking a picture of the bare wall, we put a chair and had Emmy stand on it and told her to make it seem like someone was using powers to hold her up!

This picture didn't fully work because the line doesn't match up on the upper half of the picture. If I were to do this again, I would make sure while editing that the bare image and the picture of the person on the chair match up perfectly.
