Project Development...

Okay, so now I have all my written work done I have the whole of January to develop my project with other shoots.

I think I am going to do a project that would entail me creating a series of characters going through impossible experiences... I want to tackle controversy head on, making the project morbid and dark.  I have created a series of 'stories' almost about a character(s) that experience horrific things such as rape, drugs, alcohol abuse, self harm etc. and their journey through all this to where they are today.

I have also been inspired by Danielle Tunstall's electronic portfolio and photography videos (a link can be found in my inspiration bar to her website) and when I have all the shoots done I want to create a full video with music to show the entire 'story' and shoots in order - depending on how I feel about all my shoot once I have completed them I may not actually put them in any particular order and instead just use them to show the horrific experiences I am portraying through digital art.

Here is an example of what I would like to achieve:

I also really want to improve on my Photoshop skills while doing this project and one thing I would definately like to look at super imposing a skull and human face together (this is relevant to my project) and other gore effects available to Photoshop to really make my work look dark and brutal.

Here is a tutorial I liked and will be using to help me:

EVERYTHING SHOT DURING THIS PROJECT WILL BE ENTIRELY STAGED AND ANY MORBID EFFECTS USED WILL BE DONE ENTIRELY THROUGH THE USE OF PHOTOSHOP MANIPULATION AND/OR MAKEUP.
