Arctic Mountains

  • PROJECT: Mountain Landscape
  • TYPE: VFX, Matte painting
  • ROLE: Everything
  • DATE: Spring 10

I love creating new environments. The goal here was ‘movie real’ environment that portrayed a small valley within an arctic landscape. The matte is created in layers so it can be projected onto 3D geometry and animated. This also make it stereoscopic friendly.

This was done as two separate projections as the scale difference between the middle ground mountains and the near cliff was so great, making a scale model was impractical. By splitting the projection up, it’s much easier to manage the camera’s small movement as well as it’s overall location. A simple slider adjusts the scale difference between the two.
