@sarah-narnathron eeeepp thank you!! It will probably be ready for betas around the fall, so I can let you know around then, if you’d like 😀 oooh I love retellings! It’s really cool how you can mix them together. And anything with superheroes is AWESOME. Ah, that sounds exciting! I usually just do it with books…but all the walls in my house are white and I never feel up to lugging my camera or any objects elsewhere 😛@morreafirebird That would be lovely, danke!
Exactly! I mean, I like just-one-fairy-tale retellings too, but my favorite thing is when you can find one story that fills in the plotholes of another. It’s magnificent. 😀
Makes sense. I’ve used a black tri-fold board— you know, the kind people use for science fairs— as an alternative to white. (That + black poster board on the table + a sheet of glass from an old photo frame can create some pretty cool reflection shots.) You can also pick up sparkly or patterned foam or felt, scrapbooking paper, or possibly even fabric scraps from the craft store, depending on how much you’re willing to spend. Or, if you have a halfway decent printer, you can download patterns or textures off the internet and print those out to use as a backdrop. Of course, with paper and foam and such, you have to either be shootiing down on the object (works best for macro still lifes) or you have to find a way to prop up the paper/foam. But yeah. You can get some pretty cool stuff for not a lot of money, just depends where you’re willing to go and exactly how much you want to spend.
