a lot of the images we create are composed of several shots. some better than others. if we're lucky the studio will arrange a photo shoot with the actors in costume and pose them and light them all uniformly.
unfortunately, half the time the final design comes after the photo shoot, and more so the designers will usually grab low quality digital jpegs from unit photography (behind the scenes).
it's our job as finish artists to bring all these elements together (a head from one shot, and hand from another, a separate photograph of a prop, etc) and color correct and light them and tie it all in to look like one environment or scene.
sometimes we succeed, sometimes we aren't so proud.
an example of what was done...the santa clause. martin short was wearing a spiked white wig. and between using photographs of chunks of ice and a lot of hand illustration, i had to transform that white wig into a frozen head.
but in the case of something like shrek, we are supplied digital rendered files of the characters (from dreamworks/PDI in this case) and it's a matter of combining all the renders and lighting them, adding shadows, etc. composing the background, and creating the "3" from scratch.
although i am not allowed to show any work before it is available to the public, i can mention i am currently working on Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and Meet the Robinsons, for Disney. if i remember, i will include links to those once they are out.

that was a fun one. i took this photo of an old theatre converted to book store in LA. so i had to clone out all the type and create all the neon in 3D.
(if you look close enough you can see the ads in the window are still for the bookstore, as Loki's budget dictated) haha

Ah Bookstar. I saw Millennium there. (I was young and foolish.) What was the name of the theater before it closed?
I also saw A View to a Kill at the La Reina.
Good times.
Not that any of this pertains to posters.
Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes, Antomic.
