We created a lot of "invisible" effects in the Pixomondo environment team for this show. Unfortunately I cannot show you all the matte paintings and the concept art I did for some of the shots. But here you can find a couple of the shots where I created some 2D and 2.5D matte paintings for. I will always remember this as the last show with our beloved VFX supervisor Thilo Ewers - rest in peace - you will be missed.

My role in this shot: exchanged the complete background behind the manor with a 2D matte painting projected on 3D geometry. Also the smaller house on the left had to be adjusted. The manor was completely built in CG by the 3D Environment team and mainly Manuel Grad.

My role in this shot: The house on the left is tweaked with some elements (dirt, wood on top of windows etc.), some trees are fixed, bits and peaces are painted out and the background behind the manor is a matte painting. The manor again was completely CG by the 3D Environment team.

My role in this shot: The trees left to the manor had to be replaced and filled up. The fence is painted, the building on the right is projected on 3D geometry and some trees here and there are a matte painting. The manor again is completely CG by the 3D Environment team.

My role in this shot: Same as the shot before. The trees left to the manor had to be replaced and filled up. The fence is painted, the buildings on the right are projected on 3D geometry and some trees here and there are a matte painting. The manor again is completely CG by the 3D Environment team.

My role in this shot: The background behind her had to be completely replaced by my matte painting. This was done with a painting spanning the whole camera move. The foreground elements and the rock wall and the deep ground were created by the 3D environment team and then blended together by compositing.
