Description
Hi there!Yet another "against-the-light" matte painting.
I want to show off a post apocalyptic destroyed cityscape, maybe after a war.
It's done with Photoshop CS and After Effects.
I kept the buildings in several layers and added fog in between.
Finally I rendered a camera pullback in After Effects with a previous version of the matte.
Please use "save target as ...", since I haven't optimised the clips for streaming:
PC - WMV-File, WM Version 8 Codec (3.4 MB): [link]
MAC - Quicktime, Sorenson Codec (9.8 MB): [link]
For those who are interested in having a look at the initial sketch: [link]
Thanks hoon, for helping me out with the final color correction
Cheers, Daniel

Incredible detail and softness in the image. Bravo!
I'm trying to get into matte painting myself and am wondering what your technique was. Did you purely paint this in photoshop? Did you use stock photos? How? How?
Thanks

Absolutely perfect. 
One of my characters lives in such a world, but I'm just not able to picture it.

It's funny, I suppose, how beautiful a future like that looks when put on canvas. And then you think about it...
Superb.

Like many has said, i do love your style and work. its amazing what you can do. i can't even think how to create something such as that with photoshop. let alone a paint brush or rough scatch.
I realy enjoy the work. keep it up.

Yet another amazing work. There's a slight mixture of awe and jealousy coming from me, because that is simply dazilling.

Great stuff +FAV!
IMHO - in the animation there's one thing you should take into condiceration: the distance of the blast to the "camera". The impact of the sound wave in the real word would hit the camera way much later. The "camera" should shake at least approx. 100ms later than the visual blast.
In all due respect

Wow..that's absolutely beautiful! By the way..I enjoyed the nice explosion in the movie too, very nice touch. Wish I could animate like that!

Oh... the pain... it hurts..
Very good made

Very real looking. Fantastic job, scary though. A goal could be to try and prevent this I suppose, but it is very pretty, in a sad way. Right, I'll stop contradicting myself. Cheers

my battle ground and its not the apolpic were takeing for its the last march

that animation is absolutely astonishing... I want to get to that point and be able to do that... what exactly went into making this, with the programs involved? Was it a bloody lot of work like it looks? and can I do this without breaking the bank?
I want to be able to create movies with shots like this, bloody heck yes I do
this is astonishing
I do agree about the lights, this destroyed and how would they still run, but yeah... artistic licensce definitly. That and the explosion is a little lifeless, although the camera jiggle is pretty sweet. Would a camera react to such an explosion so far away? Still, physics aside, this rocks amazingly so -crash
