On this film our matte painting team provided movie ready 2D painted backgrounds congruent with production design's traditional watercolor approach.
Matte Painting
Using assets from our modeling department, I lit and rendered the main castle using our proprietary rendering software. I hand-painted the render in Photoshop to tailor this background to the art department's needs.
Once approved, separate render passes were created using mattes and camera projections for each element. I worked in conjunction with lighting, stereo, and our FX departments to composite together our rendered frames for the final sequence shown below.

For the "I'm A Star" sequence our team provided stylized Alice in Wonderland inspired backgrounds that seamlessly transition to a more realistic night sky and distant tree line.
