Great Matte Paintings #4 - Dune



Dune (1984)

Although he supervised all of the matte work for the production, this was the only painting in Dune painted by Albert Whitlock himself. A gorgeous painting, brought to life on film using typically genius Whitlock touches such as live action smoke elements and shifting shadows (there's another great example of this technique in John Carpenter's The Thing), as well as the more self evident model spaceships (a terrific piece of design by Tony Masters) composited into the shot.
