I don't get it.

Pitecus said...

The Paul Walker's arm is really funny. \o/

FnH said...

I like the lighting

Steve said...

Pork-pie hat+tuxedo... Kill him!

"Sarah Hirschfield said...
check out the my website:"

I say, pay the me $100.

Why are all those guys wearing paper masks? They just look silly. And they should smile more. Constipated paper mask guys.

DanH said...

The 3 guys at the back look ok to me - at least, ok enough for me not to notice on a normal day... but the 3 guys in the front? Paper masks. Nice work photoshopping out the little holes near the ears that you tie the elastic through :)

BLAM said...

Does ANYONE take real pictures anymore?

David said...

No, I think it's great that someone decided to buy this book and get pick up some useful tips from it in spite of one or two hiccups on the cover image.

F said...

another black movie from Poland?

DanH said...

wtf... and I just noticed - what the %$&@ is going on with the guy on the left's neck? I cannot fathom what they were trying to achieve there.

Sherrie said...

Its different now - the original. The turtle neck is gone and the color balance looks a little better.


WV: Suble ... unlike the photoshopping.

Álvaro said...

Uniform lightning is for losers anyway

Bad Fairground Art said...

There are so many things wrong with this, I don't know where to start! Please tell me nobody was paid for this. In fact, please tell me that several people were fired for this.

db said...

hey it's much better now. But perhaps next they could fix the lighting variations and put the reflection under the gun and the drink and... ah just forget it.

db said...

...back for more.. I couldn't help it.

Call them 'Losers', not 'Takers'. They drink champagne out of martini and scotch glasses- through straws!

Hero Paperboy said...

They actually fixed Paul Walker's neck since this was posted. It's still bad, but better.

Besides their necks I also love how the lines of the champagne bottle don't fit in the ice bucket and how a good portion of Paul Walker's glass seems to be reflecting THROUGH his napkin. His napkin's a vampire!!

T.I.'s head and Hayden Christensen's magical face-lighting get me every time though.

PeteLevin said...

Um... the bottle has the power to bend space and time. And the perspective on the table vs. the perspective on the briefcase? Wow.

Kate said...

The ratio of some of the heads to the body/hands is way off. Not to mention one of Chris Brown's fingers has been horribly broken.

Dea said...

looks like they already cleaned up the poster on the original site

Bilby P. Dalgyte said...

"Dude the lighting in this room is so trippy"
"Sorry, I can't see you"

Rodrigo said...

my boyfriends can do that!

mr bish said...

Whoever fixed it did a fairly reasonable job, since it looks like they just worked straight from the flattened botched one. It still sucks, but it doesn't look horrific anymore.

Diego said...

And what about the building from the right? Is it falling, or what?

Ron said...

Four black douchbags, two white douchbags. What's the problem?

Shelley said...

It looks better in the revised version, but not enough to make you not notice that two guys in front have light on the opposite sides of their faces...which is the most noticeable problem. Oh well.

Are they fucking SERIOUS? HAHAHAHA!

Jerome said...

OK, original has been modified : the left guy's neck is better.
But still no reflection of the gun and Martini® glass on the table, though Champagne bucket has one (even if they don't drink Champagne obviously...).
Concerning the bottle, which is too striking from the backgroung, they should have centered it a little more in the bucket...

Work done on a Saturday night, very late apparently...

myxstew said...

At first sight I thought the suitcase was floating in the air ... and perhaps it does. Every face has its own light source with individual shadow direction(s). Gee - wish I could take such pictures. There's champagne in the bucket, but nobody drinks it. Probably it's reserved for the photographer when he's done.

I think this type of work reflects the content of the movie / series well (artificial, beyond logic but oh so "cool"), and as such it's not a failure at all. Thanks for the warning!

Hassan said...

nice...
Watch online tv channels

cristina said...

At least they left Stringer Bell alone.

Herr Mann said...

Anybody noticed the second glass on the right? What is wrong with its scale/perspective/reflection?

And the guy in the middle seems to be floating in the air as well, along with his armchair.

philr said...

Wow, that's bad. There's no way a real photo could ever be lit like that.

It's worth noting that the people posting at the original site were all over this bad photoshop job immediately.

MILLUS said...

The poster is... but the trailer of TAKERS looks ok:

The Sophisticate's Diary said...

I agree with the commentarians who pointed out that they're drinking champagne from tumblers with straws, and ice; shocking behaviour. Also the porkpie with the dinner suit; again, dreadful.
I would also like to mention the black shirts. I can think of no reason to ever wear one with a suit. Not one single reason. They don't look cool, they look trashy.

pajuaba said...

The WV was so good I couldn't let it pass: trehese, short for "these three", as in "these three bad comped guys" :-) .

Trifioso said...

This is so unbelievably bad! What is going on with the lap of the guy in the middle? Is he Wilford Brimley under that paper mask? Geesh!

Patrick said...

seriously...how hard is it to set up a room and have all the actors in the movie for five minutes sit and take a couple shots...All you need is one...Photoshop just make ppl lazy...insulting us thinking that we won't notice

Lovise said...

Wonder if the photographer ever learned how to take productphotos.

Wonder if the photoshopper ever got any feedback on his/hers earlier works.

I think not.

Mikle said...

Does the guy in the middle (standing) has 2 cigarettes.

Sn@p said...

Waw the guy on the left, looks like his head been shifted.

Sara Martín said...

Godness, WHAT ABOUT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE LEFT'S GUY? How can do this his finger?

CRash said...

On the bright side, they fixed Paul Walker's neck. However, he is now a turquoise-eyed alien and whatever this gang is drinking still doesn't obey the laws of physics.

The hands/fingers of the three in the back hurt my brain. Especially the middle man...what is that stumpy thing below his pinkie? It freaks me out.

WV salastr: a PsDisaster that comes about when the graphics department is edging for a higher salary. As in, "You pay us more and maybe we'll touch this crap up a bit and fix Paul Walker's neck."

Robert said...

Seemed OK at first, but the more you look, the more disasters you find. The guy on the left has his hands so badly screwed up, and apparently he has no legs.

Atomic Hairdryer said...

Guy on the back row, left, you can see his noose.

Barman's looks like they've delivered one last wafer thin semi. Budget overrun due to too many personal light sources.

Caiman said...

the heads are stuck on lol

Grahame said...

This reminds me of the covers of some Star Wars novels, where they try (and fail spectacularly) to paint Harrison Ford's likeness with some semblance of proportion, and you're always aware that they got a second-rate artist to do the cover work.

Kylearan said...

Isn't it obvious? The white jacket is actually giving off a tremendous amount of light, hence the surreal look.

J Alex said...

They sure do look cramped into that room

Rachel said...

Is it just me or does the middle body shot look like it was ripped off of scarface.

Hilarious.

If you're gonna paste the heads onto other bodies at least make them the same color skin.

daytripper said...

Each head has a completely different light source, they'll never sit compatibly together.
