June 4th 2008 - Is There An Imposter In My Booth?

*GASP* Superman doesn't wear chucks?!
He does - they're just cleverly disguised!
He does, just not to the Daily Planet ;-/
June 4th 2008 - Is There An Imposter In My Booth? by Stephen Poff.
Someone apparently forgot to tell Kal-El that his father sent his brother Helder to do good things in Europe. So on his trip overseas, things got a little embarassing... he ended up changing in the back of a Volkswagon Jetta.

What really happened was... it was collaborations week on the 365 Days podcast. One of my favorite creative photo artists here on flickr is Helder. So don't think I wasn't totally excited when he asked me to collaborate with him on this photo. In his country they still have phone booths so... how could we pass this up? Thanks for the great idea Helder, I had fun with this one. (Although... it sucks how much better you fill out your shirt.. hmpf!)

Today was a busy day. We filmed a funny and creative commercial for our local thrift store chain called Faith Rescue Mission and edited a commercial we shot for Sammy Stevens, AKA the Montgomery Mini Mall guy. Do a youtube search for him if you haven't experienced it yet. He was on the Ellen show a while back. We were laughing so hard when we were done.

Watched the 5th episode of Dexter today... WOW. I'm hooked.

I like how the strobe in your shot makes it look like the light from the phone booth in Helder's shot. Nicely done, gentlemen.

LOL... which one of us?

Thanks.. we had lots of fun planning and working on it. Glad to know that it was worth it ;-).

LOL... I know right... I should have just seen that and given up!

It didn't compare at all... your's was a lot more involved and well done... but thanks!

LOL.. not really. It was better shot and edited I think, but we really just have to do what he says LOL It was still fun to do regardless.

I missed the challenge... what was it?

It's definitely in my top of all time.

Thanks!!

LOL... I like that you thought it was sort of kung fu! I was just thinking about that screeching sound in the cartoons... like I was flying to the phone booth really fast and had to halt because you were there. I thought it looked more like you were about to kick my ass LOL. Anyway, thanks and I think we should do another soon just for the fun of it!!

Thanks! It's the key to compositing... you have to carefully match the lighting. Glad you liked it!

LOL... my job is done!!

Thanks!!

LOL... that cracked me up! and thanks!!

LOL, it might scare the kids.

Aww.. thanks so much! I love to be a winner ;-).

::bows:; thank you thank you!

LOL

Thanks Stu!!
