In order to get the characters in multiple poses, photos of models posing in the different styles were taken. These were taken by a photography student in order to have the photos come out at the best quality. These photos were taken on a bright background in order to make it easier to remove the background from the subject.
After the all the pictures were taken, the background was removed from the character itself. The character was then put onto a square, plain white background. This new picture was then transferred to a different device and run through Prisma.
Prisma is an app that allows for different filters to be applied to photographs. My previous experience with this app made it a forefront in the idea of adding filters to the pictures. The real-life style would not lend itself to the style of story telling I wish to create, and thus filters to the pictures will create a more animate feel to the characters and the environments. The simplicity of the app to use and consistency of the filters allowed me to apply the same style to all of the different character poses with both speed and ease.
Each character is done in a unique filter in order to give each character there own unique feel. This also allows each character to stand out from one another, and gives them more personality in their personal styles.
