Back in High School (10th Grade to be exact - 1984-85 ish), I did my first experimenting with Special Effects in Photography for my 10th Grade B&W Photography Class. In this situation I made myself into a giant like King Kong. It was a very simple process. Just take a picture. Cut out the subject. Glue the subject on top of another picture. Take another picture of that picture and Taaa Daaaaa !!!!
