MagicCon 6 | Vortrag | Painting Middle Earth | Jeremy Bennett
Jeremy Bennett, the Visual Effects Art Director on The Lord of the Rings Trilogy will give a slide presentation of his artwork describing its function as Visual Effects Art. This will involve the initial briefs from Peter explaining the problems the paintings needed to resolve (specific questions that needed answering) to help with miniature lighting set-ups, digital augmentation of live action set pieces, design of deep distance matte paintings and as a guide for ‘digital composition’ of the final shots.
‘The overall goal of the artwork was to help produce a consistent look/feel that bridged the live action and digital effects helping to create a seamless blend between the two’.
