After taking photos of the SSC from different angles, I used some of them to create a new photoshop file, which could be used as a background to our animation. I used the graphics from the film A Scanner Darkly as an influence and used the effect Cutout to create a similar style on the selected images I had merged together.

I did another two background designs, from different camera angles, to use one for each five seconds of film we filmed each. Above is the second design in which I compiled four different photos from different angles, and used the effect ..........., instead.

Above is my third design, using another different set of camera angles and a different effect. However, I could only find three different images which I could connect together effectively to make the background.

Above shows the final design of the SSC, which we as a collective group helped design together. We decided that it would be unneccessarily complicated to switch between three backgrounds, and decided to instead take more pictures, and create one large, full background of the whole of the room instead of three separate segments. Once taken, we edited these together, jumbled them around and spliced different bits of them together, and added our own touches using both pictures off the internet, of a guitar, Homer Simpson etc, and images of a cup and kettle that Ben created himself using Paint.
