/u/dgoberna couldn't make it so I am reposting his questions for him.

  • What do you currently do? Still working on matte painting? (I think your last work was in Hugo)

  • Among all films you worked in, which project was the most challenging?

  • Which one was the most artistically frustrating?

  • .. and the most rewarding?

  • .. and which one was a living hell? (in terms of production, dull work..)

  • Is there anything you see in current digital matte paintings that you miss in the traditional ones? I feel MP departments today are not very well considered, taking into account how much of their work is going to define a shot. Do you feel any difference with the old times? How were MP departments considered in the pre-digital era?

  • Any funny anecdote regarding a specific matte painting?

Is a truly honor and a privilege to 'talk' with alive history of matte painting. Thank you for your work and the AMA!

There's some serious irony in there somewhere.
