Situation: Matte Painting done for a TV soap opera project at Globo Studios in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Task: based on a Syrian thermal power plant. The project consists of reproducing the structure of part of a power plant near the city of Aleppo in Syria, using as a base a scenographic structure in the Globo studios in Rio de Janeiro.
Action: I collected original footage of the city of Aleppo and power plants syria to create an image bank of reference bases, textures and elements that could be used to create the matte painting. I cut out the elements from my image bank that would be used, created masks for all the elements and made the montage, added textures then corrected the values and colors to match the original footage.
Result: This was a challenging job as far as the Matte painting was concerned. It was one of the biggest jobs in which I used digital painting mixed with photography to achieve the result the team looked for.
