Re: Challenge 1120: Vintage perambulation
By the way, although she appears to come from an era a good many years before the pram, the mother is great! She's a perfect fit. I spent ages trying to find a good mother in the right angle of view and perspective and failed to find anything I was ready to use. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

The soft, diffused look is great, Loyd. I couldn't do much with the pram, but the head...I had fun with

Re: Challenge 1120: Vintage perambulation
Seems you've been putting in a lot of time with your much loved rotate object tool Anna. Since the tool doesn't accept numeric inputs (at least I've never found a way) and has to be set every time by hand I don't see any way you could have automated or programmed that. Did you really create this by hand frame by frame? If so that's quite astonishing. The shadow when it's rolling on the ground is really impressive! Wonderful! I keep looking at this and wondering how the hell you managed it ....... let alone so fast! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

David, I didn't use the rotate tool. The head is an OBJ downloaded from Sketchfab, a 3D modelling site. In After Effects, I have a 3D plugin called Element. There, I could rotate and manipulate it. _________________ Dorothy: "there's no place like home!" |

Thanks Anna. Because I know you really loved the rotate tool, I guessed wrong. What you have done is splendid - especially the head rolling on the floor.with its shadow! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Well!! When I came to post this, Ben's latest submission was waiting for me. Interesting because it completely reflects what I came to post. Not an entry - just some research. I got curious and, in the course of seeking out similar baby carriages, I have discovered that “doll carriages” for little girls were very much a thing in the early to mid nineteenth century. 
These were often modelled on the new ‘modern’ full size baby carriages whose small wheel design made them much smaller than the traditional large wheeled standard pram. 
There is much confusion in the photos online as to which is which with, I suspect, quite a bit of mislabelling. However, looking at the huge size of the doll in Steve’s photo, I think he stumbled upon one of the former.

I think the doll in Steves pram was a "Pedigree" we had some second hand in the shop. Molded Wave Hair: The distinct wavy, sculpted hair pattern on the doll's head is classic for British mid-century composition and hard plastic baby dolls. This style was heavily produced by Pedigree in England during the 1940s and 1950s.The Face Shape: The plump, slightly downturned cheeks and wide side-glancing or sleeping eye sockets perfectly mirror the standard 1950s Pedigree baby doll face mold.The Pram Style: The quilted fabric and metal rail construction of the carriage is consistent with vintage Tri-ang Pedigree prams from the same era. |

Re: Challenge 1120: Vintage perambulation
Having made the case for this being a doll carriage I am nonetheless treating it once again as a full size. Despite the levelling effect of two world wars, the class and wealth divide in 1940’s Britain was still very marked. The difference, one might say, between prams and perambulaters.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

In my part of the world, stroller, baby carriage, and doll buggy are the most widely used names. |
