Fake It—Pablo Villanueva

 In my digital compositing project titled "Fake It," I’ve imagined a casual afternoon spent inside Michael Jackson’s home. We’re sitting together in a cozy living room, enjoying fresh watermelon and a spread of tasty snacks. As we talk about life and what he’s been up to while staying out of the public eye, I spot him using an iPhone 16. It’s such a funny contrast to his iconic image, and it makes the scene feel even more real. The playful cats that wander around the room add to the warmth and charm of our gathering, showing another side of Michael that fans might not usually see.

Throughout the compositing process, I worked hard to create a cohesive look by softening the quality of different elements. The sleek iPhone needed to blend into the homey vibe, so I distressed its appearance a bit to make it feel less out of place. The cats, depicted in a playful style, help enhance the intimate atmosphere of the scene. I focused on balancing colors and textures to create a dreamlike feel, aiming to capture the essence of a relaxed moment with a music legend, inviting viewers to step into this imaginative interaction.
