Year one
AVATAR POSTER:
I photographed the youth pastor’s wife and did all the “makeup” digitally to make her look like The Na’vi. I intentionally did not over-exaggerate the features to perfectly match the Na’vi, because we still wanted the teens to be able to tell who it was.
TWILIGHT POSTER:
I photographed a couple of the volunteers as Edward and Bella and digitally added the fang.
300 POSTER:
I photographed the youth pastor as the main character and the assistant youth pastor as the army in the background. The background sky was a stock image.
EPIC SERIES POSTER:
For the main series poster, we came up with the idea to create an epic movie poster that spoofed the teen movies that spoofed popular epic movies. I photographed each model pairing separately and compiled them into one image. the rocks were stock photos that I cut up to make it look how I wanted. The background was also several stock photos layered together.
Year two
THE AVENGERS POSTER:
For this poster, I went into downtown Phoenix and took the principal photography of the city in the background. I then photographed each of the models separately and added them to the background. Iron Man was an image from another artist, I cut him out, and added him to the cast. I then added all the special effects and digital painting to make it all come together for the final.
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES POSTER:
I photographed our model and digitally added the background and rain. I also created the belt buckle in Illustrator and Photoshop.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN POSTER:
I lit a wall in the youth building that had its logo on it. We then had one of the models strapped into a harness under his jeans and suspended him on the wall in a classic Spidey pose and I took several photos to get the right one. I removed the rope digitally and added the spider shadow to play off the poster that was in theaters.
THOR POSTER:
I photographed our model on a raised platform. The rocks were all stock images that I broke up and digitally painted to get the final look.
