Corpse Bride Wedding Photo

I was inspired by the Corpse Bride and I wanted to turn my husband and I into the movie cover. :) Here we are! Cartoony and dead-ly. These are highly manipulated images! I even made the background on my own, but that would be an entirely new instructable. When it was all said and done, I had over 100 screen shots for the tutorial. So I had to leave out tiny steps that I was anal about, and I left out the background all together. You can find spooky backgrounds on google, etc. (What I did was pure insanity. I was up from 3am - 10am.)

This was made using photoshop! Enjoy :D

Step 1 Prep yourselves!

Start with an image of the two of you, already cut-out from the background.

Go into IMAGE, ADJUSTMENTS, HUE and SATURATION, and then take down the saturation so that you both turn grey-ish. But leave some color in there, just not much.

Make lots of copies of your image in case you mess up at some point in time. I like to make multiple copies each time I majorly change the image.

Not needed, but I added light pinstripes to my husband's pants to look more accurate to the movie cover. (I used a small square and CONTROL + T to transform it LONGer, then copied it over once more, for 2 pant legs.)

I love this! C.B has got to be the most under-rated Burton movie, even though artistically it is probably one of his best. Such a cool idea. The backdrop is amazing, it looks just like the poster!
