The Blade Runner scene where the spinner flies across the city view was made with miniatures. There were hell of a lot huge scenes with matte paintings in Blade Runner you could have used instead, for example the scene in Tyrell corporation where the shutters close on the window.
Thank you for making this movie. (i'm infatuated with matte paintings) so it was interesting to see what your favourites are. My favourites are from the movies: The Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Willow, The Neverending Story, Hook. Return to Oz and the ewok movies.
yeah, i'm pretty sure that in all those clips were matte paintings at least partly involved. Same goes for "Star Trek" - off course it's not a 2D glass paint like you see in "Ben Hur", but it's exactly what you call a matte painting today: a digital collage, combined with 2.5-D layering... and off course a lot of little 3D stuff (like the smoke parts or the little elevator). And even if the ship was completly a 3D model... the sky in the background just has to be a matte painting. ;)
The only 'matte painted' part of the shot from 'The Ten Commandments' are some rocks where the water meets the 'seabed'. As stated above, the 'BladeRuuner' shots are all miniatures and opricals - no Matte Paintings in these shots. The clip from 'Star Wars', is the expanded shot form the 1997 special edition, not the 1977 original as indicated here.
@jonasulrich This is a great little collection of some great matte work. I see some Whitlock shots in there and a great Pangrazio shot as well. @justinb1969 is right about the 2 Blade Runner shots, but Matthew Yulricich provided about 20 matte paintings for the film. The most famous shots are of Harrison Ford hanging by one hand near the end of the film and a shot inside Tyrell's office where Rachel is walking towards Deckard before he gives her the empathy test.
Same with The Ten Commandments. A very complex composite shot, but not involving matte paintings. The history starts awfully late, too, since matte paintings have been used since cinema was invented.

Very good. I will have this video as inspiration. Love the matte painting. Thanks.

Where the hell is Black Narcissus, which came out 10 years before Ben Hur?
Just asking, but were the examples post-2000 really Matte-Paintings? As in: Painted by hand?

Nice presentation, good choice of music. But you left out the first 50 years. Blade Runner is models mixed with matte paintings.
@leonardoye Yep, during the first Star Trek movie, a lot of the scenes of V'Ger was matte paintings as well :)
Say whaaaa ? No Batman 1989 ?!?!! Gotham city was mostly matte paintings !
Did you star school film
Do you know how they did "The Ten Commandements" and "Ben Hur" in that time?
"The pianist" Destroyed warsaw was not a Matte Painting - They used Old Soviet barracks, and the real scenery To recreate the destroyed warsaw
great ideas become success
The BladeRunner stuff is all minature photography. No matte paintings at all.

did we miss Close Encounters ? and Robocop ?
and you forgot "E.T. the extra-terrestrial"!
ET was shot mainly at locations and on sets, I doubt is used many,
Don't be offended, but you forgot "The Wizard of Oz".
Mary Poppins?
