Who is a "matte painter"?

A matte painter is a visual effects artist who creates detailed, painted backgrounds or landscapes used in film, television, and digital media. These paintings are often used to enhance scenes by providing backgrounds that would be difficult or impossible to capture on camera. The matte painter works to integrate these painted elements with live-action footage or CGI, ensuring that they match the lighting, perspective, and overall look of the scene. Their work helps create immersive environments and establish the setting for a story.
