The Place Beyond The Pines

Postby bewarethebeastman » Jun Fri 05, 2020 10:31 pm

Wanting to try out a double exposure type cover for this one. Looked for some different images
to use as the base image to which the other ones will be overlaid. Ended up going with this one,
I couldn't find many pics that would work, but this one has room for images and I can still leave his face exposed

cutout was a little rough, added some hairs with a hair brush on the lady


Added image of a forest road (set to "lighten" that kinda matches the angle of the bike. The bike image was from a higher angle but I don't think you can really tell. Gathering some more images now to add. Color is a test, but I might end up using it.

Thank you, I think I'm pretty close for the front image.

Tried doing a few small images of diff characters but it just looks too cluttery so just added one larger one.
Messed around with the visibility a little, her arm highlight ran right through the middle of him on the bike so copied another layer of the bottom bike image and set it to normal blend mode, then erased everything around it except the arm part. Also added some textures.

And added some more highlights with ctaulbee's dodge color tutorial trick

Great update. What would it look like if you justified all of the synopsis?  :)

Good point, I’ll try that or wrap It along the image. Also thinking about adding something underneath where there’s too much open space

Maybe a review of the movie would fit in that space - coming along quite nicely :)

Perhaps move the Features up, you have all that open space at the top, seems like little need to have the text overlap the trees.

Thanks y'all for the input. I fixed the plot text, added some more elements below it.
Also re-arranged the trees a bit around the special features so they wont overlap. Also decided to keep the more subtle color. Ill post it in showcase
