My Revised Definition Upon Final Review of Separate Cards

Matte Painting is a historic Film Making technique which dates back to 1907. Matte Painting has many forms including The Glass Shot, the Original Negative Matte and The Projection Matte. In which a man made element is planted in an live action scene to re-create something in an image. For 80 years amazing things have been created using these techniques.
