Today's problem was what to do when you do not have access to the required prop, a doll in this case. I decided to approach the issue by not showing a doll, but another stage of the process that must be part of eventually meeting a 'scary doll whore'. To achieve this I knocked up a fake communicator interface with a controller of the right age to be interested in dolls. To help everything fit, I chose to wear a cap on backwards to help narrow my face as well as to increase the silliness of my expression - one of fear of the task I was being asked to do.
I spent about 40 minutes building the mock interface, 2 minutes taking the pictures and another 60 minutes post-processing the images, partly because the contrast between my face and the screen was so way off. In the end I divided the image into three layers: everything outside the screen, the screen and the image of 'Weronika'. Because the image of Weronika was so poor, I imported the original image of her into this picture.

There always is some other layer. Just like once we talked about getting old in terms of being late to work. Good luck!
Layers, yes, and what layers have I exposed with number 6 I wonder...
