We Combined a Traditional Matte Painting with Blender!

[@MicDoesThings]

So exciting when one of your videos comes out!

[@FAKUZONE]

The amount of work per shot is simply amazing, the matte painting is absolutely stunning and the compositing makes everything come to life, you always go the extra mile ! I love it ! 👏

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Happy to hear that!

[@Kriscoart]

Awesome

[@kaidoitel]

My two favorite arts combined in one!!!

[@HANAKINskywoker]

Same

[@smartduck904]

Wow he did a fantastic job let him know we all love drawing work

[@stevemuzak8526]

1:58 Stipan Tadić artworks are brilliant. His style is perfect for matte paintings. He paints exactly like original matte painting masters.

[@smartduck904]

A great shot but I think the people are a little too big they might need to be scaled down just a little bit next to the Greyhound

[@dpmodels7897]

this is better than hollywood style movies..... waiting for the next video! cant wait

[@smartduck904]

Awesome it's looking really really good

[@PatrickHogenboom]

Mad respect to your craftsmanship ! Also, your presentation and delivery are an absolute joy.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thank you very much!

[@riccardofavaaa]

only one word: WOW

[@mefavideoer]

The mixing of different methods & techniques is so fun to watch and the result is so good! Want to see more!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Yay, thank you!

[@AntCooke]

Amazing marriage of old and new techniques. Your artist friend did a brilliant job!

[@playmotion.trailer]

wouah! just wouah ! your attention to details is amazing and I will never look at pictures the same way because of your channel . Thank you very much and, again : Wouah !

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Whouah!!! Thank you so much 😀

[@joojosart7772]

For me as a compositor this is the finest wine :D Great work!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Glad you like it!❤

[@garvolt]

Incredible piece of work. Truly amazing the detail you went into to make it look realistic plus very advanced skills in Blender.

[@SebastianCastro]

The final shot looks great! A real mix of old and new filmmaking. Matte painting meets Blender.

[@NirdeshakRao]

4 months for a shot, wish I had this level of patience. Your passion for craft is as amazing as your storytelling. 🤟

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Much appreciated! ❤❤

[@mckenziecreative]

Such great commentary too! Can't wait to see the movie!

I lost all my interest in movies many years ago (thanks Marvel), and I don't praise people often but your series is just awesome and I hope that the algorithm will catch up and help you out. The whole stuff is extremely funny, professionally done, lots of techniques to learn. Sretno momci! And I have to add that as a Hungarian I love that there is no bullshit and instead of fake US "everything is awesome and how fucking great I am" you point out the challenges and accept your failures. Love you guys and all the best!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot Barton for the awesome comment! We really appreciate it! Cheers from Croatia! 😉

[@imiy]

I've binge watched all the videos on this channel in 3 days and want more!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot!

[@dejangotic]

this is among top three of these production diaries for me! this is the best possible case of combining quite a lot of all three techniques; matte painting, miniatures and CGI stuff in healthy abundance! combine everything as intertwined as possible, until it self combusts!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

❤❤😊🎂🐱‍👤

[@Uhfgood]

Love it. Not really interested in the movie, but really your shots specifically :-)

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Fair enough! 🤣❤

[@richarddufault]

I love this series so much

[@mrdr9534]

I'm absolutely in AWE of how You and Your "colleagues" continuously master all these mindboglingly (if that's a word... ) complex and advanced "tasks" with such mastery... ... Consider my mind officially Boggled !! Best regards

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Haha officially boggled! Thanks a lot! 😊❤

[@sebjamet1]

Excellent ! What a beautifull job !

[@stevemuzak8526]

Making of this movie is like the greatest learning lessons ever. Masters at work. Well done guys!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot!

[@KieranWay]

You guys deserve all the recognition

[@onuq3r4y478]

love a good matte painting

[@sva3897]

All I'm left to say is: This is awesome work.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

♥️♥️😊thanks

[@JeffSandersFilms]

That was amazing! True dedication on display!

[@lightspeed1755]

Pro tip: helicopter blades have a very slight upward curvature in flight (mostly straight due to centrifugal force)....they only droop downward when they stop moving; on the ground. Fantastic work though - been really enjoying watching these elements come together

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Ha! Fantastic! It's so logical now that you said it but it never even even crossed my mind before. Thanks!! ❤

[@MarkBTomlinson]

Nice demo, nice to see you using Blender and the results are very good.

[@nachogst]

Very inspiring! Thank you very much.your work is amazing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💙

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@RodolfoMigliari]

Fantastic! Your videos are always so inspiring to see.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot man!

[@ULTRAWIDE.]

So good. I really love matte paintings. It’s a lost art really. Wish films would start using them more again.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Same here!

[@Multi_ToBi]

Your videos are basically a masterclass on DIY Filmmaking - other people would charge for them - thanks for sharing! As always, your fan...

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot! ♥️

[@Lumibear.]

That’s pretty insane, but the final shot looks fantastic, worth it!

[@ChernobylKid]

you guys are crazy !!! you really going the extra mile

[@PetrMiženko-j8o]

This is the Hollywood!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Wow, attention to the details makes this shot spectacular!!!

Fantastic!

Jako zanimljiv kanal, jedva čekam pogledati ostale videe.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Ooo, bok Sime! I mi pratimo tebe. Samo naprijed! 🦾

[@emmanuelgoldstein1918]

Awesome! Blending classic techniques with the latest tech. It looks fantastic.

[@HappyDude1]

I just love models and filming it to let it all come to life. Especially the 60s and 70s and 80s because i didn't get to live in it... I would love to work with you guys and make films

[@Sean-nv6zk]

Again, the level of output you and your team do is inspirational.

[@jnspxxx4585]

I love this channel!! And your narration is always so entertaining. The perfect mix of humor and input :)

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Happy to hear that! Thanks 😉♥️

[@akrim-o]

Continue, you wonderful people, your efforts are strenuous and you have been working for seven years. This means that your experiences are accumulating and you are providing what delights the soul. You are wonderful.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a ton!

[@ecsix]

This has got to be my favourite youtube channel. You guys really make magic and it's so inspiring.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot!

[@CIONAODMcGRATH]

This video has solved a major challenge for an animated film that I am developing. Thanks!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Good to hear that! Cheers!

[@pjhunton]

The shot look absolutely class, a real blend of traditional and modern to create a fantastic image. Brilliant.

[@rolfhogfeldt7645]

Love seeing how you work things up and improvising through things that aren't working and getting a final result 😊

[@priyeshpv]

Don't know if anyone else said this already, but one tip: Instead of using corner pin for the cloud parallax you can also use the transform effect and there it's "skew" parameter. I use it all the time. It's much easier and quicker than the corner pin.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Oh yes!!! I know the transform tool, and this never occurred to me. Great! Tnx! +❤

[@priyeshpv]

​@@sliceoflifefilmyou're welcome!

[@IndyStry]

Super cool as always Luka~!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

INCREDIBLE

[@BrownHuman]

Absolutely insane mix of amazing craftsmanship, soo excited to watch Splashback when it drops!!

[@elSegundoTF]

Amazing, great Job

[@XavierAlbertStudio]

This is truly impressive. From the thinking to the execution. Congrats guys!

[@hazonku]

I'm so glad he came back to do another matte painting for you guys. He has a real knack for it and as a fellow artist and lover of matte paintings I genuinely enjoyed his work in your films. They add that little bit of old fashion grand scale.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Yes, we were happy to do it again! Thanks! 😉

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

I love you crazy Croations! : ) I also love that you are never satisfied. It probably sucks in the moment, but your final shots are great. Excellent work!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Love you back!!! Thanks!!!!❤❤

[@peterjoslyn1]

I love this - of course once you start adding 3D elements it becomes obvious that the whole shot could be created in Blender or Unreal Engine.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Ah yes. That's why next time NO 3D AT ALL! 🤣🤣

[@peterjoslyn1]

@@sliceoflifefilm excellent. I love this work, I really miss practical effects

[@ChaosCanyon]

That was great. The final shot looked awesome

[@BadTunes.]

This littel details that you added no one will ever notice but works so well and that's why you are ome of my favourite flim maker of all time❤

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks so much!

[@1zymn1]

I've been learning Blender since 2008 and I'm impressed with you just picking it up and making this. Took me years to realize I should animate general movement on curves to make it look right.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

I didn't say, but I used 3DS Max for years so I knew the logic of a 3d program. I just needed to switch to Blender and learn where everything is. It was truly a pain for a couple of weeks, but now I enjoy it so much. It's wonderful!

[@jean-pierrejoubert2438]

Omg. Wow. What a painting. So good. The car replacements… sublime. Helicopter addition… chefs kiss!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@TheCaioFreitas]

best youtube channel I've come across in the last year or two. PLEASE DONT STOP

We never stop, we just take long breaks! 🤣❤

[@a2z-images]

I'm always so happy to see your videos. You are quite special and unique in your kind on KZbin. Thank you for letting us discover all this amazing work that you do. Keep it up, you guys are a treat!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks for the lovely comment! ❤❤❤

[@sunnynaguri]

This shot is just incredible, Luka! The style is spot on. The final shot is so so good. I'd have believe it if someone showed this and told me it was from an old Hollywood picture. Breathtaking.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot Sunny! 😊😉

Eres el jefe, this stuff is surreal. cheers from Mexico

[@dougrobinson5706]

Your friend Stipan's work on that matte painting was truly Whitlock, old school quality. Man, just outstanding work! Loose is best. Really a great video, boss.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

I'll pass it on to him! Thanks Doug!!

[@dreamzdziner8484]

What an absolutely talented matte painter🔥Watching your vids are entertaining and also very much informative.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Glad you like them!

[@thomasmanning9111]

This is the greatest!!! You are so dedicated and a TRUE artist. You not only care about the final image but how you feel about the process. A true sign of an artist.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot! 😉

[@lawebley]

This is my favourite shot so far. I love the passion and dedication of the shots, but the humour in these videos really make them special.

Much appreciated! ♥️

You guys are the best, not only a bunch of practical advice, but you explain the thought process. Here is how we got to this point. Started here ..... ended up here .... and everything in between. I have learned so much from you guys, and even though I know it must be such a pain in the neck filming the BTS, I hope you can keep it up. Can't wait for the release of this film, I so want to see the final movie, and would be willing to shell out some bucks to keep you guys doing this stuff.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot!! Yes it's hard work but it's great to hear it's useful and entertaining to you guys! ❤❤

[@MMCLProductions]

LOVE IT! Best of both worlds

Mind BLOWN!

[@Forcemaster2000]

You guys do amazing work! So glad I found your channel!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks so much and welcome!

[@remlya]

You offer one of the most extraordinary filmmaking channels on YT. I will never understand why you haven’t exploded in subscribers and views. I went to film school for 4 years and don’t have your talent and initiative. I can certainly understand if you prefer to do your own thing because there have been so many horror stories about working with studios. Looks like you’re having fun working together and that’s the best part. Cheers from Canada.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thank you for the lovely comment! Cheers from Croatia!! 😉❤

[@mauriciogonzaleztamez1982]
