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

well, it's not very creative what you are doing with it. We call that stuff: ripping off artworks.
It's one of the most hated actions that you do, to insult artists.
If you want to look cheap infront of others ... go ahead in doing, what you do best ...

Wow this just kinda leaves you in awe of the destruction. I love the eerie feeling generated from the electricity still running through some of the buildings.

Such a beautiful piece, it captures my imagination. I'm getting realy into all the scenary picturea around this site... the electricity in the buildings is a nice effect, but I had one question? Where's the fires that usually occur in war? Oh well, mind if I fave?

This is absolutely jaw-dropping. I mean, when they say a picture is worth a thousand words. This is more of a million words.

Me too. For me it provides a spark of hope; even though the world may have ended, humanity has survived.

Oh, wow, that is beautiful in a very peculiar way. I absolutely love the fog and the sky. I can't even begin to describe how this resonates with me ... Looks painstaking.

WHOA. I can just see the people in the buildings burning desks and papers to keep warm.
This looks terrifyingly real. Let's all hope and pray it never comes to that.
