Movie Magic HD episode 08 - Matte Painting

This video is beautiful

So much skill lost to CGI.😢

Will always look better than digital. The only way to happen backwards is lying to your self. That's the reason there is critique anymore.

Technology can never replace talent.
Remember its the artist not the brush.

He is an amazing Artist

That young matte painter Robert Stromberg went on to direct the live action Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie in 2018 after working and winning an academy award for Best Set Design on Avatar.

старое дерьмо, скорее реклама американской истории, время потрачено зря.

👏👍🔥🖼️

didn't they go from this technique of hand painting the mats to a similar one, using green screen effects ?
now it is all CGI and looks fake AF

Do you have the missing episodes of season 2 and 3? I'm tracking down tv recording tapes but in the meantime i'm making a playlist on here.
Thanks for all the uploads thus far and in advance for any more ^^

Its nice but faaaar too labor intensive

i miss these days. Its nothing like this now.

I used to set my VCR to record this show. Also read those expensive issues of CineFX. It was a goldmine of information.

Man I started crying realizing how blessed I’ve been to witness this amazing moment in this human experience growing up in the 80s it always felt like we were waiting for the future I realize now I was living in a golden age of wonder

True movie magic

Such a fantastic show. Pre-net this was it.

Just filmed my first monster movie, it's in editing now. This show deeply inspired me to work towards film making with my life.

Sora: LMFAO !

What did they do when photoshop was introduced?

lesbi@n movies magic

I remember this use to come on tv on a Sunday good times.

My favorite part is how they scratch off the paint to let light shine through for the nighttime scenes. So simple but effective.

Who the hell is this Matt guy anyway...?

Its like time travelling. Its true art but i go with ci gi eye

A lost art now. They just do 3d stuff that ironically looks less convincing most of the time

Simon would say: Humans got talent

still better than cgi, green, blue screen

Sadly, this man has been replaced by AI

Здорово. Как же сейчас всё упростилось.

wow

CGi is basically a matte painting done with computers, and where matte paintings are usually just a single frame shown for multiple seconds CGI is 24 frames per second instead. I think because matte paintings just used a single frame they put a bit more effort into them. For an experienced painter it was probably a bit cheaper to come up with some wild stuff in a painting vs needing CGI experts to develop the same thing in motion.

I used to Knock on the Door of Matte World when I was a talented artist as a teenager in the 90’s, but they never let me in, or gave me the time day. There loss, there out of business now. my 3D CAD has taken over the industry.

the first time i heard about matte paintings was the scnen from ROTJ, in which you could see hundreds of stormtroopers, when the imperator arrives. It blew my mind, that these were actually painted!

Technologies for humans and against humans..

amazing talent

The problem with digital matte and visual effects today is that it is rendered too sharp, ruining the illusion of realism. Original, hand painted ones were more with "impessionistic" finish.

I miss these kinds of techniques, I saw them in movies like The Running Man or Blade Runner, the futuristic thing looked so real.

Amazing documentary.
Thanks

I remember watching this show as a kid. Never thought I'd see it again

This is truly amazing!!

That was interesting! Thanks

And many of these techniques are used in Anime.

I recorded a bunch of these shows on vhs.

I remember watching this show as a kid in the 90s.

cgi before cgi

Artificial intelligence will make this art craft obsolete.
