The Great Gatsby - Valley Of The Ashes

Description

Time has come to present the work I have done during last 6 months. Valley of the ashes in 'The Great Gatsby' was very important location for Baz Luhrmann. A depressing rubbish dump that characters pass when travelling from Long Island to Manhattan. The majority of this location was created digitally.

Indicated is a wide shot of the valley straight after Myrtle's death.

Matte painting was created in Photoshop from various photographic elements as well as rendered 3d assets. I have started with the sky that changed few times before final approval. Extension of the horizon line had to be produced after that as well as continuation of the rail track and road. On the attached GIF image ( link below ) you can see the main stages. Final shot break up will be presented in my showreel 2013 which is coming up soon.

Valley of Ashes is where two world's fairs were built--Flushing Meadow.
