David says, “I’ll be giving a history lecture of the origins of matte painting for film, starting in the early 1900’s. How was it used to support the vision of a director, to give life to an environment that wasn’t able to be shot through the camera originally? I’ll then show examples, and then delve into how it transitioned to the digital era in the early 1990’s. Why did it transition? How did it affect artists who were working in the traditional field? I’ll then talk about current techniques and breakdown how I’ve created digital matte paintings as well as talk about the best practices for that process today.”
