The connection between paint and canvas can be traced back to the dawn of civilization, and while the world was developing,so was this bond that has now sprouted hundreds to thousands of offspring. The one descendant of traditional painting we will be focusing on today is Matte Painting.The origins of this discipline can be traced back to as early as 1905.
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 would otherwise be too expensive or impossible to build or visit. Historically, matte painters and film technicians have used various techniques to combine a matte-painted image with live-action footage. We will now be hopping into a theoretical Delorean and traveling to the past, as well as the future of this prominent genre of design.
