Last Lesson.

Today we learnt about the importance of matte paintings and animation as an effect in films after the other half of the batch presented their selected films. So we learnt that epic landscapes in films aren't all real, some of them hand-painted, whereas some are digitally painted and both techniques require loads of artistic focus and creativity, and it consists of many layers that builds up eventually to the final result, and they are seamless within the shot itself after it's being done. Pretty amazing stuff actually, as now we know that establishing shots within films have landscapes that can be bare and then the building is CG-ed over it. Heh.
So now my parting shot will be a video of this girl's showreel and she has done serious stuff which has got me inspired.
