Bad Photoshop job on Gulf War group photo


You'd think with a multi-million dollar budget for this movie, a more convincing looking photo could have been ginned.

Haha hilarious! Both characters heads clearly looked pasted on. For sceptics:

1. Ben Afflecks head is a little too big.
2. Image of his head is too sharp compared to others which is a bit grainy and blurry
3. The colour of his facial skin is not similar to other people in photo. Too pinkish.
4. Angle of his head is odd. His whole body is leaning to the side but his head is straight up.
5. Exposure, lighting and shadows are too strong compared to others.

The same with the other guy in the photo but Ben's head is most obvious. The rest in the photo are real.

I paused and rewatched that scene several times to get a good laugh at the fakeness of it all.
Hell I started to think the twist was he wasnt in the Army at all!

Though I admit the very last time they showed the photograph (zoomed in mostly on his fat head) he looked OK.
