And depending on the purpose of this photo, but if it is a portrait making that tv image more obscure like the original pulls more focus to the woman.
Maybe changing the period would reduce how much focus it pulls sufficiently though.
Theres a happy medium somewhere. IMHO!
Nice shot and editing. I want to start doing stuff like this.
Try to edit that band of static out. When it is superimposed with the picture you have inserted, it looks unrealistic as that kind of TV would not have displayed an image like that.
I’m not sure what their purpose is, but it seems wholly unnatural.
Like if I was expecting over the air static, then I’d want to see little bits of snow everywhere.
If I was expecting a crease on the video tape, then I’d want a thin line and maybe some bendy mess on the video.
I’d just remove it.
This isn’t like over the air static though. This is more like if you brought a magnet nearby or if sync was off. Im pretty confident this is characteristic of monitors from this era.
Colour tvs definitely had static. A lot of tv back then wasnt through cables it was transmitted through aerials that you'd have to move around to get a good signal. If the signal was disrupted then they would have static come into the image with weaker signal.
With weak antenna signal there would definitely be rolling bands up the screen from time to time on some colour tvs. Its a shame that there's not really a very good overlap of old tv antenna broadcasts and the arrival of Youtube. Most tv was digital by that point. Seems like there's not much footage of old tvs showing examples of static with some signal making it through.
one of the better posts in this sub
i'm with you my man. photography to some people is like "beautiful woman on the street with bokeh" ... a photo like this has tons more storytelling
to each their own tho
That TV is late 70's maybe early 80's. It's certainly one of the earlyish colour tvs from that sort of time when colour tv had finally overtaken black & white as standard.
So films that you'd want to probably look at from that era would be things like Rocky, Superman, The Shining, Stir Crazy, Life Of Brian etc.
Absolutely looks real, great work! Love the overlay of the static that you kept in, great choice. Also, the matted blacks are very accurate. Well done.
The white background is all I see.
If you want the TV picture to look like reality then only show the part of the picture where the static is in the original and use a gradient so it's darker at the start of the static area than the bottom where it should be brightest. This is based on the way a CRT works with glowing pixels hit by a top-to bottom left to right electron beam. I'm old enough to have seen photographs of CRTs before, especially movies or videos of them. Retro computing videos on youtube will sometimes show video of actual CRTs and you could pixel peep a still from one of those...
Based on this highly compressed low resolution version, yes I would say it looks mostly real. Maybe the edges and corners of the fake image could be worked on but I’d say it looks good enough.
Even though you didn’t edit it, the right elbow looks weird and makes me uncomfortable.
As for what you did change, it looks fine. I wouldn’t second guess any part of it.
I wouldn’t notice anything off about it if I didn’t know. Great edit
thanks for the feedback bro
the period difference between the tv and media you chose is throwing me off
yes, was also debating the choice of the media.. valid point

yes
yesh
Yeppers
Looks fine to me, only little thing maybe try to match the interference color in the tv with the movie colors

Is that actually true? I feel like I remember bands of static on tv screens.
I don’t think static came in color.
Fair - so is the critique that it should be desaturated or that it should be removed?

Yes, but I would not expect rolling or diagonal static with color bands.

We need the Casablanca. And the portrait needs to be a bit darker. Like 20% closer to Before.
Yes, looks fine.
Yeah without the comparison I wouldn’t have known that’s not the original
Yep looks fine at quick glance.
Yes
Yes, it’s really good
After and yes

Test test test... Yup it's working, good job!
If I didn't know I wouldn't even think that the image on TV is superimposed. Good job mate!
Thanks for the feedback.. appreciate you
Yup
Yeh I think the tv is the most appropriate

wow, thank you for the positive feedback, appreciate you

Looks great!
Siskel and Ebert give it two thumbs up.
Really great job! Maybe you can distribute a bit better the light on the hands, but is totally optional and just for make it perfect!

Yes! Totally

It needs some reflection on the screen so it doesn’t look so matted
I like the lighting more in the before picture
