Not such a long time ago, in a galaxy south-east of Paris, there was a battle between myth and reality. The Empire really has struck back – at least, in the vision of French photographer Cedric Delsaux. An award-winner in the newcomers’ Bourse du Talent competition, he is keen to preserve the illusion behind his Star Wars-inspired images. Although R2-D2, Darth Vader and his Storm Troopers may just have been model toys, superimposed on to high-resolution photographs of Parisian architecture, the illusion is seamless. Magically, urban wastelands becomes intergalactic battlegrounds.
I have not been exposed to such amazing Photoshop capabilities in a long while. With the amazing detail put into “action figures” nowadays, this concept could be extended by ambitious fanboys of everything from Marvel Superhero’s to G.I. Joe. If something such as this already exists, please be sure to let us know so that we can investigate further. Could this be the next low-grade “sweeding” phenomena to sweep the nation? Time to go dust off my old friends known as Lion-O and Optimus!
