“Chris Stoski is one
of the leading matte painters in the industry,
having authored many rich digital environments in recent
films while at
ILM and Matte World Digital. He has also been very supportive
in contributing to the CG online community, and these DVDs
will become a standard for learning the full range of techniques
used on high-end matte work, from 2d painting to 3d set
extension .”

In today’s feature film
industry, productions are in constant need of digital set extensions.
On this third DVD in a series, Chris Stoski shows how digital
set extensions are achieved. The lecture uses two examples
to demonstrate matching simple and complex lighting in the
plate photography, dealing with difficult lighting changes,
matching the camera angle of the plate with 3D software, and
adding camera movement in a compositing environment. The lecture
results in the creation of two beautiful moving shots. In addition
to Adobe Photoshop®, Chris uses Autodesk 3ds Max and Apple
Shake to create these examples, but the techniques can be implemented
with other popular 3D and compositing software as well. This
DVD is designed for all skill levels.
3 hours of lecture.
