First Assignment Shooting

Currently I am working on my first intermediate photography assignment. In this assignment I'm supposed to create a series of five constructed reality photos. I've chosen to make scenes with my Stitch dolls depicting various aspects of Stitch such as intelligence, being a pet, being an alien, being a monster, searching for his identity, and being part of a family. During shooting I found that it would be really nice if I were friends with someone who is a properties manager in a theater. There were a few times where I had an idea but did not have the props to set up the shot. Yes, I suppose I could have bought these things, but that would have taken too much time and money to find and buy the items. It would have also cost way too much time to make these things, like a spaceship for Stitch to drive. I think I found some decent alternatives to my initial ideas--I least I hope so. Instead of showing Stitch driving a spaceship to show his "alienness" I shot him researching Roswell, NM, I shot Stitch as Dracula biting the neck of a teddy bear to show his "monsterness", and shot all of my Stitch dolls eating breakfast together to show the importance of family to Stitch. We'll see how it turns out.
