Matte Painting Research 2.0

A Matte painting is a painted representation of a landscape, set or distant location that allows filmmakers to create the illusion of an environment that is nonexistent in real life or would otherwise be too expensive or impossible to build or visit.

Over Time

Traditionally, matte painting were made by artist using paints or pastels on large sheets of glass for intergrating with the live-action footage. The first known matte painting shot was made in 1907 by Norman Dawn (ASC), who improvised the crumbling Califonia Missions by painting them on glass for the movie Missions of Califonia.

By the mid-1980s, advancements in computer graphics programs allowed matte painters to work in the digital realm. The first digital matte shot was created by painter Chris Evans in 1985 for Young Sherlock Holmes for a scene feauturing a computer-graphics (CG) animation of a knight leaping from a stained glass window.

Throughout the 1990s, traditional matte paintings were still in use, but more often in conjunction with digital compositing. Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990) was the first film to use digitally composited live-action footage with a traditional glass matte painting that has been photographed and scanned into a computer.

Paint has now been superseded by digital images created using photo references, 3-D models, and drawing tablets. Matte painters combine thrive digitally matte painted textures within computer-generated 3-D environments, allowing for a 3-D camera movements.
