TAKING WOODSTOCK

matte painting department

Extended set and rebuilt bg based on research of the real Woodstock 69. Working on a historical film is equally about researching visuals as it is about painting. Had to catalogue various blurry photos and create high-res panoramas of the scenes where the garbage and dilapidation covers the muddy hills beyond the green-screened actors.

Re-created historical moments such as the tent city and the packed roadways of concert-goers.

It involved significant research based on what the terrain looked like in the modern era decades ago during the famous concert.
