During my internship at Shosho Amsterdam, the studio was working on multiple projects for the National Military Museum. One of the projects was a 360 film about the history and warfare techniques of dutch military expeditions, that would be projected inside a dome shaped projection room to make the audience feel as if the were present at the battle scenes themselves.
The actors seen in the movie where shot in front of a blue screen and edited in the shots later on in the process. It was my task to create the backgrounds digitally as matte paintings in photoshop, for which I used more or less a photo- and texture bashing technique, done over a rough sketch on a 360 image perspective grid. For the skies we used 360 degree photos.
