This is my reaction to "Photoshop Has Gone Too Far" by College Humor. When I stumbled upon this online, I couldn't wait to react to it for you guys. My eagerness to watch this video was derived from the central idea of showing Photoshop in reverse. This lead to my assumption that this video was going to be focusing on the twisted ways of Photoshop. Instead, I encountered something quite different.
In the introduction of the video, we are shown a beautiful model who is in the process of being de-Photoshopped. Her body was dis-altered in a reverse pattern. Within a matter of seconds, she looked unrecognizable. Her legs, stomach and arms were blown out of proportion. Yet, she was still beautiful in her own way. As the un-Photoshop process continued, her skin started to morph into a patchy color. This shocked me because it showed me a different layer to the video. It was incredible to see how much Photoshop could morph a person into an unrecognizable figure. Not to mention, the emotion it sends to the public since the model seems to have an active skin condition that was affecting her skin.
At the mid-point mark, I was really curious since I couldn't imagine what else they could possibly alter. That's when the pepperoni bra popped out and the cheesy skin. I couldn't believe I sat through two minutes of this video thinking that it was going to hold a profound meaning.
Well, guess what? She was a pizza! Or should I properly say she was Photoshopped into a pizza. I was flabbergasted. Going into this video I had extremely high expectations. I thought I was going to leave this video with an impactful message to my life ,but the only thing I learn was that you can Photoshop anything to look like anything you want. Yep! I hope you guys enjoy this video.
