Matte painting affords seamless integration between an artist’s painting with live action film footage and allows for greater flexibility and creative input in the appearance of movie settings. This unique book reveals a variety of tools and techniques that are both industry and classroom tested and will enhance your existing skill set. Veteran author and instructor David Mattingly walks you through the process of creating a matte painting, starting with rough concept sketches, working out the perspective drawing, adding light and shadow, and texturing all of the elements in the painting. You’ll gradually upgrade to using Adobe After Effects and Autodesk Maya in order to fulfill your matte painting vision.

In this series of tutorials, we will go through the process to transition from live action footage to a comic style drawing of a zombie. We start out by re-timing our footage to pause on the keyframes that we will use to create the zombie drawings. We then do a quick discussion over the process for doing some drawings of this style in Adobe's Illustrator, however the drawing process is not step-by-step because we want to focus on the After Effects processes. We then import the drawings into After Effects and begin animating our transitions. We go over creating custom alphas, animating with expressions, and much more to create this animation style. By the end of this course you will have created your own animated zombie transition and you'll have picked up some universal tips for creating transitions from live action to animation.
