Film - Baggage - Interior Matte Paintings

This is another set of matte painting for the film Baggage. The bulk of the movie takes place in a cafe so we needed a variety of different mattes within the same location that changed with the story beats. And lots of suitcases. These are peoples personal baggage they bring with them through life.

This is a set extension to be put underneath the live action footage so the director has room to pull the camera out quickly.

I blocked out the major shapes in 3D then used a combination of photographed suitcases and miniature photography to detail it out.

Initial blockout with live action footage overlayed.  Looking to establish correct scale and determine how much extension is needed.

This is the base matte painting for our restaurant interior.  We needed to extend out the photography on all sides and add piles of baggage to set the scene.

As the scene unfolds, personal items of our stars explode out of their suitcases and scatter around out patrons.
