A Birthday Card

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 12:05 PM
A birthday card for a friend. As all my stuff, drawn, then scanned, inked in illustrator and colored and textured in Photoshop. I know some people also ink in Photoshop, but I just can't do it. Not to mention on paper.

These aren't anything too special on their own, but I like how they turned out. Also, you can see what a difference some contact makes. That fur would have been an awful amount of work to mask and make look natural, but it blended into the stock image really nicely. Also the skin tones turned out the way I like them, with enough texture. I don't really understand why magazines in particular feel the need to blur out every single detail, making the skin look like plastic and fake.

Rehearsal video for Talbot, September 2008

Nothing too special technically, but I've been meaning to get back to video. It used to be my main hobby...before I got a computer, a decade and a half ago.
I tried to include a bit more than just a static image of the guys playing with a few cuts, but since the music's largely improvised, and there wasn't much time, I didn't end up with as much usable material as I wished. Still, a good exercise on getting to know FinalCut and such.

The idea was to have their feet be of etheral energy, which tied in to typography. I didn't do the typography, that was all Reimo, but I like how the color turned out and the pink stayed nicely neon even on the worst of newspaper papers. The splashes were combined from the photos of real paint that you see in the source and just plain old drawn when needed.

Workshop with Christophe Huet

Workshop with Christophe Huet
For Taevas Ogilvy / Photography: Kalle Veesaar / Cleaning and compositing: Rain Saukas

Finally a workshop that was actually fun AND useful. The awesome Christophe Huet came down to give us advice on how to plan a more difficult composite shot, and then how to compose all the parts back together. All the shoes were shot separately, on location and in studio, and then combined according to what we wanted. We divided up the work on the second day so that Rain was working on the black shoes and I did the tied up slipper, and then we both dida a separate version of the final with some different detail and color correction. But the whole thing taught me a lot - mainly about contact and lighting on set. Thanks, Christophe!

This was really fun! Kalle shot a bunch each model and I composited them to show the deformation that the POWER OF MUSIC can have. I tried to keep as much of the textures as I could, and then amplify them even more. I believe Kalle used an old classic for the blood shot - tomato juice.
