Process

I took two frames from Kanye's video: one with all of Kanye's subjects and one without. This way, I could replace some of the subjects along with Kanye himself while keeping some of his subjects as filler by cutting them from the second frame. First, I had to adjust certain areas of the background by removing figures such as Kanye while cloning certain areas of the picture in order to keep the integrity of the scene while still being able to replace the people in the original video. The substitutes for the replaced figures are all presidential candidates along with the current president, Barack Obama. I scoured the internet for appropriate pictures of the presidential candidates then used photoshop to insert them into the scene, making sure to adjust the image to fit the color and exposure of the background.
