How we did it - In the heat of battle
It's been a busy week, lots going on, including my vax #1. And no matter what, there's always something going on in Plastiqueville!
We continue to experiment with the cheap-ass polyester ribbon. Quite honestly, I can't even call this stuff ribbon; it's just strips of the scratchiest fabric I've ever touched. Crush it your hand and it will definitely keep that crush. Each piece is about a yard long.
Here's the scene inside the studio box:
This time I tried hanging strips from the "ceiling" of the studio box. Then I placed my model (one of the pirates, who are friends of Reginald) in the ribbony chaos and made a few pictures (aiming through the ring light for some extra illumination). Using Topaz and a little Lightroom, I created a mask around the pirate and blurred everything else for a "smoky" effect. Surprisingly cool, for such seemingly "useless" materials!
