This blog is intended primarily as a tribute to the inventiveness and ingenuity of the craft of the matte painter during Hollywoods' Golden Era. Some of the shots will amaze in their grandeur and epic quality while others will surprise in their 'invisibility' to even the sophisticated viewer. I hope this collection will serve as an appreciation of the artform and both casual visitors and those with a specialist interest may benefit, enjoy and be amazed at skills largely unknown today.
This site has loads of info about this particular technique. The article on Kubrick’s 2001 is fascinating.

In the VHS and dvd versions you get a shock when you see Michael Myers stood among the washing in the back garden because you don't initially see him ... but on blu-ray he's just stood there clear as day.

[MENTION=3542]Team Andromeda[/MENTION], I'll be over at about 7:30 and we might be able to squeeze in a double-bill of Chan, Evil Dead II or a Carpenter film.
I don't know if you prefer sweet or savoury snacks so I've got chips 'n' dips and sweet popcorn.
Do I need to take my shoes off?
Maybe I'll hold off on the Chan films and I'll watch Project A with [MENTION=8265]CMcK[/MENTION] next week.
