Week 4 Million
So what do you do if you need some good shots of your leads in 1920s stuff but don't have the budget - answer you fake it like Meg Ryan in that film with the orgasm. Or rather you 'Photoshop' it. That way it looks like you paid money for a photoshoot but you didn't because you're a tightwad.

I'll bore you very quickly with a photoshop demo - but bear in mind I have abut 65 of these to do for the show. To start with you need two images both looking roughly in the same direction - you then cut the face off one (ooo Freddy Kreuger flashback) and resize it to the others proportions.
Then you over expose and blur the image to approximate the 1920s feel. Then a bit of glamour by adding some lipstick.
Add in some eye makeup and then some reflecting lights/twinkle in her eyes to give you that all important vasaline-over-the-lens studio portrait.
'Et Voila' as they say in Germany. All done.
