Photoshopping people in scenes
Anybody have any tutorials or videos they can suggest that can help me photoshop people into random movie scenes/shows? I am trying to practice. Trying to make it look realistic and seamless.

Firstly, you need to know how to remove or get rid of your background before you proceed with any cinematic photoshop changes. Search "BisWabb Creatives Gh" and you will see a video about how to remove or Change Background in Photoshop. Then you can proceed with the rest
Hope it helps 👍

Have you browser searched for how to composite using the Photoshop app?
It doesn't make any difference if we are compositing people or other elements.
If compositing into movie scenes, then we will be dealing with perspective created by the camera. We need to have knowledge of horizons and how they relate to the eye level of the camera. We also need to have knowledge of vanishing points.
With that knowledge we can accurately place a person or other element into the scene. But, we need to find a shot of the person or element that matches the eye level perspective of the scene. If the scene is shot looking upward and the eye level of the camera is below the horizon, we can't realistically composite in a person who had been shot with the eye level of the camera looking down on them.
We also need to find elements, including the person we want to composite in, that have direction of light that matches the scene. It's a bitch and a half trying to composite a person shot in sunlight into an indoor scene.
Regarding perspective, find used copies of the book, Framed Perspective, Vol 1, by Marcos Mateu-Mestre.
It teaches analog and digital artists about perspective.
