On this show, this is the Matte Painting that almost killed me. Sometimes, the ones that seem most straight-forward, for some reason bite you in the … happy end.

The Tourist
Image
Truly great subject matter for matte paintings to work on. Great vantage points, architecture, canals, photography, and the beautiful city of Venice.
Apocalypto
Image
Hired directly by Icon Production, another fantastic show with Ted Rae. We did a lot of old school miniature work and photography for matte paintings. Fun!
Fantastic Four
Image
Rise of the Silver Surfer. Concept design for the force field of the Invisible Woman. Brought on by production late in the game for design support.
Matthew Yuricich (1923-2012)
Image
A Matte Painting Legend and true inspiration. I’m so lucky to have met him. Picture: Rob & Matt visited R!OT’s Matte Dept (Michele, Ken, Rocco, & Deak).
The Passion of the Christ
Image
As gruesome as it looks, which at times made it hard to look at the footage, this show was great to work on. Very inspiring! Thank you Ted Rae.
Matrix Revolutions
Image
This painting was tremendous fun, tedious at times with all the mechanical details. Very rewarding collaboration with George Hull.
Life of Pi
Image
Rough geometry and many, many planes were needed to push the depth in this shot for stereo. And Contrats Rhythm and Hues! Absolutely deserved by the Artists.
