Rear projection has been used in Hollywood since 1930. It’s a fantastic way to open up the universe in-camera. Remember, though, that Hollywood also dressed the set for its actors. Showing a beach? Add some sand and a palm tree. Miniatures made for doll houses and train sets can also be added for additional realism.

awesome advices, i will follow them thanks a lot

These are pretty good! They're quite impressive and some of those dino's faces were priceless!

The foreground lighting in the first images didn't matched the background lighting well. But these two were AWESOME! (my favourites!) 2:09 2:37 The stormtrooper images were nicely composed too, and the rest that followed it. Happy to see another toy photoshoot. Welldone Matthieu! 😊 👍

You're a star Mathieu! A simple and effective idea. I think I'll give this a go myself. Also congratulations on being featured in that magazine! I would get a copy myself if there was an english version :-( damn my lack of education!

Clever!

Cool!

Thanks for the great idea. Reminds me of my taking photo of X-wing against a handpainted starry back ground with backlight almost 4o years ago, This is much easier

Perfect! i should try that also

My thoughts went into the realms of Mandalorian: making a scene in a 3d program like blender and render out the left, right, top and background. Add more (cheap) screens and there goes you led lights, not needed anymore. Plus solid results! Great job, wonderful idea too!

I cannot lie that's very creative how u use your computer for backgrounds never thought of that before amazing

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

where do you get your backgrounds for the photography they are amazing

Amazing work! What is the brightness level you usually use on your lighting cube? Thanks

The photo of the Alien @1:56 I call it "Mind blown" :) I really like the idea to make "all edits" in the actual camera shoot, huge bonus using a vintage lens of course ! Do you ever use macro extenders on standard lenses ?

Thanks for producing this video. What websites do you recommend searching for background images?

Why not more views ??? it's awesome

Great video, thank you. Whenever I do a screen shot of a computer screen I get lots of weird color banding.. even on a 5k iMac...what the secret to getting a clean screen shot? A particular shutter speed?

Good question.

Cool, inspiring stuff! I'll definitely be trying this with some of my toy collection. One question, how did you deal with reflections in the monitor?

@chris-ram

Жыл бұрын

Take 2 different shots, 1 for background as a plate and remove reflection in post. 2nd alternative is getting it out of camera. Play with angle of reflection and move light around

Thanks for sharing this! Any advice to all of us rookies that don't have a macro lens?

try to find some diopter, it's cheaper than a macro lens and it will let you come very close

Hey, what camera do you use?

Will it work for my laptop? I've been trying to find good backgrounds to use..

How do i know if the image has copyright or not? Also is there a good website to find them or just google images

Thank you! This is very helpful but how do you get the screen to be big? I can’t figure out how to do it

Backgrounds are great but is it possible to have a clear, sharp one instead of the blurred ones?

You post them online for some random strangers to validate your art and your life choices, then everyone forget about them for 6 month until some obscure photography website post your photos again in an article about toy photography then if you are lucky some book publisher or magazine will use one of your photo in their journal ... and you start all over again for the next video :))

Iv been wanting to share my toy images but some look like they are drawn after editing. Im worried about copyright laws, but if it is a picture of a toy that i own, i dont see how that could be a copyright issue. But it is confusing 🤔

This Really makes you want to learn photoshop and photo shooting, doesn't it?
