Throwback: Filming a Matte Painting (Patreon)

Here's a throwback to one of the very first things shot for Space Cop back in 2013. Jim and Colin came down and Jim painted a wonderful matte painting of future Milwaukee. We rigged up the camera set up on a ladder and added some model trees to the foreground to give the shot some depth, as well as ran a smoke machine to give a tiny bit of fog to the shot. Later in post, Colin added ripples to the water and flying cars in the background. A combination of practical and digital effects.
