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

I've never really been into post apocalypse, but this is really well done here.

The lights in the city are a clear indication that there is hope for survivors.

shanti666 [2010-08-16 00:02:02 +0000 UTC]

extremely detailed, really nice colors, epic sky...
it's simply beautiful !

but i see the lights in the back buildings, you should have put some electric wires with lightnings in the front broken buildings !
well this is my personal point of view...

AMAZING WORK, CONGRATULATION !
