Digital Matte Painting

Digital Matte Painting is the focal point of my professional career. As a matte painter and environments artist i create invisible backgrounds and set extensions for film and TV. Traditionally this involved painting 2D paintings but today the need for increased realism means the role demands a far greater skill set; with a strong understanding of 2d compositing and 3d techniques.

In recent years the film industry has seen a growing demand for CG evironments, both 2D and 3D. This makes sense given the demand and expectations of the viewing public, the tight budgets imposed by studios and the advances in digital technology, the logistics involved with shooting in remote locations makes the production cost very high. So in response to this there's a greater need for recreating environments and locations in CG while shooting in a car lot or green screen studio.

Most of the paintings you see above are personal work, due to the nature of security surrounding film i'm currently not permitted to show my professional work from any of the film projects i'm currently involved with.
