I'm not sure but I thought that someone somewhere might find this interesting. Background department naming conventions using one of my paintings from Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron. .
It was definitely painted as separate layers. On this show we painted each layer on illustration board then separated them from the white background digitally. On previous show we had to paint the overlays on clear plastic acetate cells.
I do concept art, color and lighting design for animation and entertainment projects, notable clients include DreamWorks, Blue Sky and Disney. It's a great job but everything is painted digitally so I spend my own time painting with traditional mediums. These paintings and sketches are the emphasis my blog, I'll also be posting my digital work where possible as well as classroom demonstrations for the benefit of my art students.

Congratulations
interesting indeed.
did the background department take your finished painting, split it up into layers sorted by depth, and fill in the gaps?
or did you paint it layered to begin with?
Thanks guys.

As someone who had to set up two mattepainting pipelines, I find it very interesting. Thanks for sharing! :)
