Dune (1984)
This one is a pretty extraordinary piece of work. The painting - by Syd Dutton working under the supervision of legendary matte artist Albert Whitlock - was on two separate pieces of glass (one for the foreground cables) and had spaces left in for exposure of live action footage of extras walking around on wet concrete. Further exposures of live action overlays for bursts of steam and flame...
...plus a miniature cable car shot against bluescreen...
...plus a motion control camera move tilting up to follow the cable car...
...make for one of the great matte paintings of the 80s.
