3DTotal: It sounds like a very challenging project Jessy, can you explain a little more about

the term “fully 3d matte painting”?
Jessy: A few years ago, matte paintings were static images which meant the director couldn’t ask for a camera movement in a scene containing a matte. But these days, using 3D software, we are able to create matte paintings that include a camera movement. Basically, we project the painting over a 3D environment. It really gives the directors a lot more freedom than they used to have.

3DTotal: You recently worked on 300, and you have also worked in the past on movies like Sin City, how do you find working on those films particular style?
Jessy: I loved my experience on 300 as well as Sin City. First of all, we had some artistic development to do and that is always a nice challenge and a |

lot of fun. The main difficulty was to . recreate Frank Miller’ particular comic book style, and adapt him to the film medium Frank Miller images are only made of pure black and white. Unfortunately, on film, you’re not allowed to have pure black or pure white, because you always need to have information on the pellicle. For Sin City, we had to create a style as close to |

Frank Miller style as possible, but without using pure black and white.
3DTotal: If you had a dream commission, what would it be?
Jessy : I would love to work on a project on which I would have a complete artistic license and with a sufficiently large budget that will allow me to push my limits further and go into little details.
3DTotal: Well we wish you all the best for the future Jessy, do you have any projects lined up in the near future that you are excited about? |

Jessy : Yes, I’m actually going next week to Dubai. I have the mandate to recreate a virtual city in the desert, using matte painting techniques. I am also working right now on Ben 10 Alive. I’m very passionate about all the projects I have right now, I found this is such a fulfilling job.
3DTotal: We hope to see you there too Jessy, many thanks for taking the time out to talk to us |
