The Uncanny:

Something that is both familiar and foreign at the same time. The uncanny usually rings in a subtle, psychological way. Some common tropes of the uncanny include: doubles, living dolls, mannequins, wax works, ventriloquists, etc. How is the line between fantasy—reality blurred? How do old, familiar hauntings from childhood challenge the adult natural order?

For this project, create an image that explores the uncanny, or rather, where a character of your own creation faces an uncanny encounter.

Within that theme, anything goes. There's lot's of latitude for creative interpretation. 

Think big for this one... props? costumes? styling?

There are just a few technical ground rules for this project.
  1. At least 16" x 20" @300 dpi. All component pieces should be at adequate resolution
  2. At least one of the main subjects should be shot with white screen techniques
  3. The white screen subject should be masked and appropriately integrated into the new background, with scale, perspective, point of view, light quality and direction convincingly matched.
  4. The finished image should present a "believably uncanny" reality. 
  5. Turn in files and large format print
