SENIOR MATTE PAINTER

2.5D DIGITAL MATTE PAINTING

I painted a whole new background mountain range and sky for this long running shot. It involved removing vegetation, people, cars, etc from the plate. 

I also modeled a number of wind swept/eroded 3D craters to use in this and other shots.

2D DIGITAL MATTE PAINTING 

I painted 2D DMP for the night time background mountain range.
