Project 1 Criteria: Project 1 — Photo Manipulation: To create surreal photography using a single picture with the primary topic and no more than 3 layers of photography to obtain the result (layer/effects/ tool is endless in Photoshop).

Fig 1.1 Example of a photo Manipulation.

Fig 1.2  Bowl of Cereal 

This was the Picture I chose at first I wanted to make Thanos in a field but the thing was that I wasn't able to look for a perfect background. 

Fig 1.3 An Astronaut in Space.

I chose an astronaut to use and incorporate Him into The cereal bowl so it looks like he's in the spoon about to get eaten, but the funny part is that he's giving the Thumbs up sign so it looks like it's a good thing.

Fig 1.8  Animating the Final Manipulation.

After the Making of the Photomanipulation, we were meant to animate something About it. 

I chose to animate the Astronaut first up starting with a close up of the Astronaut then slowly landing on the spoon.  

Fig 1.9 Still animating in After Effects. 

Mr. Jefferey Gave a video tutorial of how to go about the animation process in after effects on Google classroom which I followed. The only problem I faced was that I couldn't play it even after saving it.
