We Combined a Traditional Matte Painting with Blender!

Albert Whitlock's Matte Department & Illusion Arts:    / @traditionalmattepaintings  

Here at Slice of Life we're crazy about traditional matte paintings and it's no surprise we managed to squeeze one in this film as well. But this time we enhanced some of the parts with the help of a free 3D software called Blender. It's a wonderful synergy of new and old, of analogue and digital. Or, perhaps, it is a BLASPHEMY! Please state your opinion in the comments and try to start a fight.
