The brief:
So, Hallowe'en is nearly upon us - the time when children dress up as witches. What's less well known is that this is also the time when witches dress up as ordinary people. So where can we find a picture of a witch and an ordinary child?
Step forward The Wizard of Oz, of course. Here's what I'd like you to do: turn Dorothy (Judy Garland) into a witch; and help the Wicked Witch of the West, played by the estimable Margaret Hamilton, to remove her make-up.
Don't work on this past midnight! There are spooks about!

I photographed this plane on a trip to Dusseldorf a couple of weeks ago. I'd like to see it in the air - which means, of course, closing that door, folding the wheels up... and perhaps we could see a pilot through the windscreen? Whether you choose to finish the back end is up to you, of course.

I photographed this elderly refrigerator for another project this week, and thought we could make some good use of it here.
You have the choice of two Challenges here: take your pick. For the Photoshop fiddler, I'd like to see this unit stocked with anything that we might need to keep chilled. For the dedicated technician, a more tricky task: can you open the other door as well?

I photographed this cameraman a few years ago - always useful to have someone to place in front of celebs ad politicians. I reckon he'd look better in a TV or film studio, though: do you think you can build me one?
The subject being filmed is up to you, of course.

This statue in London is in memory of Quintin Hogg, the founder of The Polytechnic (which became The London Polytechnic, then The Polytechnic of Central London, and is now The University of Westminster). It's the kind of pose you wouldn't get away with these days without questions being asked.
We did a 'bringing statues to life' Challenge a year and a half ago, but I think this one offers some different challenges. So here's your task: can you make these people look real?
Not an easy one, I know, so if you find the prospect of tinting all that dark bronze too daunting, you could always consider adding or removing some props instead...
