Most of you are probably familiar with his work, but didn't even know you were looking at it! That's because he's done matt paintings for the past 17 years so seamlessly, you weren't even aware the scene you were looking at was a matt painting. In other words, you are looking at the work of one of the best artists in the industry.
More than a matt painter, my good friend Paul Lasaine is also an accomplished designer. He was the production designer for Surf's Up; and has worked on many other feature length animated films. Paul was also the visual effects art director for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy!
Paul Lasaine’s film credits read like a cornicopia of visual effects films and Feature Animated films.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, he has started his own blog! Please welcome my friend, Paul Lasaine.
Hey Marcelo, thanks for the heads up! And nice to finally meet all 3 of you guys back at Comic Con. I'll go visit Paul's blog...right now.
ReplyDeleteThat guys a hack. I can paint better than him with my right hand!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marcelo. Paul Lasaine's work is beautiful. I've been a fan for years. I love 'Fighting Bears". When I showed my daughter she said "Wow!" Took the words out of my mouth.
