His values and colors are spot on and his brushwork is loosely descriptive but not overwrought. <br /><br />The best matte painters seem to have this sort of randomly accurate quality to their brushwork.Daroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02269629297022511462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-60334114074689877722011-03-19T05:54:35.572-04:002011-03-19T05:54:35.572-04:00Very interesting art in the video of the invisible...Very interesting art in the video of the invisible man from Beijing.

In Planet of the Vampires(among other movies I'm sure), Mario Bava used a mirror to reflect a model set, and removed the silver on part of the mirror to show the actors with a partial full sized set. This allowed him to create a "matte painting" that moved with things like smoke blowing etc. I believe it is called the Schufftan Process. I imagine they ran into the same challenges with this<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sch%C3%BCfftan_processE.M. Gisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056129705507552850noreply@blogger.com
