But it is so my love!! :bawling: SO many of the movies we have seen/see today use matte paintings when they simply cannot afford to actually have that particular prop, move production to a particular location, or that scenery just doesn't exist. It's cheaper for them. :hugesmile:

All this behind Christopher Reeve is nothing but a painting.

A glass is placed in front of the camera. The scene is filmed. The unwanted part are painted out in glass.

So let's say the whole set in in a studio . The bottom half of the house is filmed in the studio and the top half in nothing but a green screen. The capture live action is then projected onto an art board and the artist can then proceed to paint accordingly.:suspect: I'm still confused as well.

Yes. The top pic has the top of the house in black because it was something else, maybe a green screen of a studio or something.

MTVN 22-11-2012 07:00 PM

Thought you meant the top pic was the painted one and they'd given it some weird black roof :laugh:

Noooooo Ammi, don't let the behind the scenes magic destroy the magic of the movie itself. :bawling:

Never knew what the point of regions were on DVDs...but apparently it's so they can control DVD releases, so when America get DVDs earlier than us people can't just ship them over to sell here

Interesting, hmm

Ammi 30-11-2012 03:56 AM

..how to make things bigger....:love:...

You only breathe through 1 nostril at a time, it alternates every half an hour.
