I wasn’t satisfied enough with the chair shot, but I was satisfied with how easy it was to multiply objects that I only had one of. So, instead I wanted to see what it would take to make a small little army of soldiers. I have a phone stand (acting as a sci-fi barricade), my single K2SO figure (photographed in multiple poses, at different distances to the camera), and an old photo I took at the Salt Flats that looked very sci-fi. Oh, and then I had a bunch of spare time. That helped. Here is the video of me clicking off all the layers to make this image work. Not pictured is the hours of cutting our and repositioning all of the characters.
This is the final image.
…And this is essentially every single photo that went into the final composite.
And this is what it takes to bring it all together.
