This short film showed what can be achieved by combining photography and technology, using Computer Generated Imagery. Jim Fiscus had an idea in his mind about an old man who had known love and still wanted it but felt too old so built his ideal woman. Jim wanted to create a story through photography utilizing 3D to make the story more realistic.
He contacted a CGI company to work with him on the project and together they created a one of a kind photo. Real models/actors would be used in the photo shoot then changed using 3D technology for the finished product.
The first step was for the technology team to build a full size set that would be used for the photos. They then created 3D measurements so when the models posed for the shots they could be placed precisely where the CGI had positioned them. Once Jim received the specifics, he took the photographs and then returned the pictures to the technology team where they changed the actor/models arms and legs to puppet like hinges and other body parts.
This project took a large team to complete and many back and forth efforts between the photographer and 3D specialists. When completed it appeared as a unique story compiled within a photograph. The owner of the company stated that this “Photography Print” will become much more popular in the future as photographers begin utilizing technology in their creations.
