Please think of a theme for the images. What is happening that causes them to levitate? Why are there creepy people clinging to the ceilings? Imagine a room with 4 people stuck to the ceiling and the people below unaware and going about their regular business.
Or maybe they are being beamed up by aliens. Or maybe they are spontaneously combusting. Maybe they are possessed by a demon and an exorcism is occurring. Or a person/persons constantly getting into accidents. Flying out of car windows, falling off things, etc.
Start with the idea. Then start planning, then do the shooting. You have to do all the shooting at the same location. In terms of technical matters, it is almost exactly the same as the Doppelganger Project. The only difference is that you will have to mask out supports rather than mask in another person.
You can use any photography and Photoshop trickery you want to. Create a grungy texture, make glows, whatever.
Gizmodo Levitation assignment with some good examples and write-ups.
Check out Denis Darzacq Hyper series. I like the one in front of the supermarket endcap the best.
Some interesting levitation shots by someone known as Miss Aneila.
Sokolsky did this by using cranes and wires. If he did it that way, you can handle doing it with PS.
Nice little tutorial on how to make someone appear as though they are flying.
Interesting bicycle shot with a picture of it in process in the comments section.
An unnecessary video on how to do a simple levitation. The photo is silly.
Flickr Floating People group. Some very nice work in this group.
Lei Wei is a performance artist who sets up elaborate poses then photographs them. My understanding is that he doesn't use PS.

Below is a video about how Denis Darzacq makes his work. Here is a portfolio of his Fall series. Here is a link to his Hyper series.
There is a good one of paper flying around in this series of self portraits.
