Life

'Life' by Anton Corbijn has been recently released. It is a story of a photographer assigned to shoot pictures of James Dean. I was involved in the production of several matte paintings depicting Times Squere ( mark 2:00 in the trailer  ) which was a full cg environment. Attached also the main reference our team was using. It's lot of fun to recreate the past!

Mad Max - shot breakdown

Time to share some work done on Mad Max! Lets start with this epic view of the Citadel. Lot of matte painting work went into this one by few artists. I was painting on top of the cg render that had to achieve photo-realistic quality as well as required more details. Additional tasks included integration of props, vegetation and citadel base texturing. Pretty much all the surfaces where covered with various photos and whole foreground was built from the scratch. Base 3d Maya model attached for reference. More shots coming soon in my latest reel!

Mad Max 'Fury Road' release

Hiszpanka matte work

Since 'Hiszpanka' was just released I can share the work I have produced for the film. It has been quite a while ago ( June 2012 ) and I must say I would like to revisit the painting - especially since it was prepared in a rush over a 3 days time period. I feel I also gained more experience during the last 2 years and would perhaps finish off the painting in a different manner.

My task was to create a background for passing train shown through nodal pan camera motion. The middle section was not to be visible, since it would be fully obstructed by the train - therefore less attention there. The idea was to have significantly different moods on each side of the shot - connection of weather fronts if you like. I have matched the 3d model of the train tracks into the perspective and rendered it out in 3ds Max. The rest was comped in Photoshop including integration of the tracks with the snowy ground. The painting has been revised down in Platige before the final version of the shot was approved.
