Welcome!

I've been very interested (maybe obsessed?) with hyperrealism since I was a little boy. Today I work as a digital matte painter for films, where I "try" to create hyper realistic backdrops and elements which are inserted (composited) into the film frame. I'd like to use this blog to share images, techniques and insights on this topic. Your thoughts and ideas are very welcome here. If you would like to learn more about matte painting, you will find samples, explanations and links to more explanations on my portfolio website (www.maxgabl.com).
