Discover the Techniques
Matte painting is a process used in filmmaking and video game production to create the illusion of an environment that is not present at the filming location. This art form blends real footage with created landscapes. The goal is to transport viewers to worlds that would otherwise be inaccessible or too expensive to build.
History
The technique dates back to the early 1900s, a time when film pioneers used painted glass to simulate worlds that only existed in their imagination. Embrace the evolution of this art with our interactive exhibit below!
