From Traditional To Digital
Traditional matte painting is older than the movie camera itself and has actually been already practiced in the early years of photography to create painted elements in photographs. With the advantages of the digital age Matte Painters have slowly transitioned to a digital work environment, using pressure sensitive pens and graphic tablets in conjunction with a painting software such as Adobe Photoshop. A Digital Matte Painter is part of a visual effects team being involved in post-production, as opposed to a traditional Matte Painter who was member of a special effects crew, often creating Matte Paintings on set to be used as back-drops.

Famous quotes containing the word traditional:
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
