In this episode of the Filmumentaries podcast, I speak with digital matte artist, Jim Maxwell about his journey in the film industry, the evolution of matte painting from traditional techniques to digital methods, and his experiences working at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). We discuss the importance of photo reference in creating realistic matte paintings, the challenges of working in high-resolution formats, and Jim's memorable encounter with George Lucas. The discussion also touches on the role of art departments in filmmaking and the balance between concept art and final renderings.
