Levitation

- - You must produce TWO photos that demonstrates a levitation trick.
  - Props (stool) and/or digital manipulation is a must for this assignment.
  - If you need more support, don’t shy away from using multiple stools or chairs.

Getting Started

- - Interacting with objects around the environment like walls, trees, or other floating objects will make the photo more interesting.
  - Most importantly, make sure you take proper precautions and don’t try anything dangerous. Remember, it’s just an illusion, NOT actual levitation (ie, jumping)
  - Things to consider will be shadows. (the stool might cast a shadows that needs removing or fake shadows might need to be added to further “sell” the shot.
  - Stools and chairs can be found in the black room.
  - YOU MUST TAKE THE PHOTO AT OR BELOW EYE LEVEL OF YOUR SUBJECT.

HOW IT WAS DONE:

- Two photos were taken with a camera on a tripod.
- Photo #01 – was to get the background (to be used when you remove the stool)
- Photo #02 – subject on his back lying on a stool.
- To avoid “flat back”, his shirt dangled down in front of the stool to make it look more realistic.
- The stool was masked out photoshop.
