Editing the movie poster UP.

To recreate the film poster of 'UP', we are using Photoshop. We used the original background of the movie poster and removed 'Russell' the character on the front, by using the magic wand tool, and the eraser. Then took a photo of a friend who is pulling the same pose as the character on the front of the poster. Making our recreated version of the poster was harder than we thought, Photoshop is a un-reliable programme, especially as we were making our poster, it was a typical error. But as Matt, the person I was working with, knew how to use Photoshop, I was lucky, as his skills were put to good use.

How we created and edited our Poster


1. Get the original poster cover, and get our actor to pose as much as he can like Russell.
2. Import the image six times and crop it to the following body parts: head, chest, leg, left arm, bicep and forearm.
3. Remove the background from each part.
4. Morph and transform the head into a disproportional size to the body as this is what most Pixar characters seem to be like. .E.g. Buzz, Woody, Mr Incredible.
5. Attach the head to the original hat of the poster.
6. Do a lot of morphing and transforming for the rest of the body parts and try to get them to look like Russell's original pose.
7. Repaint the hose and the background by hand to restore the hose back to the images because the history brush was not working.
8. Do the finishing touches like adding a cast shadow, and then you will have a successful recreation of the UP movie poster.

 This is the finished product.
