Ab jetzt kommt jeden Donnerstag ein Thema, das Vergangenheit und Gegenwart auf Social Media zusammenschweißt. Vorschläge sind willkommen.
Die meisten der genialen Widescreen-Szenen aus den ersten drei Star Wars-Filmen waren „nur“ Landschaftsmalerei von 3 professionellen Landschaftsmalern. Alle Sturmtruppler, die Details im Design des Todessterns usw. waren Pinselstriche auf Plexiglas. No shit.
Obwohl es schon lange zum Wissen vieler Fans gehört, schaffte es ein Twitter-User mit diesen Bildern viral zu gehen. Kein Wunder: Die Bilder sind außergewöhnlich.
Spoiler: Those epic images in the first 3 Star Wars films were hand-painted! Back then before CGI matte paintings were used. Matte paintings typically depict landscapes painted onto glass using oil, acrylics, or pastels, and are either filmed through or added in post production pic.twitter.com/7HGmYJqwAM

Pt.3. More of those Star Wars Matte paintings, that I am reliably informed were painted on shower doors – because they were glass and the right dimensions for widescreen. Matte paintings create "the illusion of an environment that is not present at the filming location." pic.twitter.com/uJBgQ04bbH

pt.4. The amazing Hand-Painted Matte's from the Ewok forest moon of Endor in Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. The acted action occurred in the black shapes and the majority of the epic views were paintings. Matte painting is an old cinema art – now superseded by CGI pic.twitter.com/TQiOPFM8kC

Dazu lässt er auch gleich etwas wissen über den Ex-Landschaftsmaler und Avatar-Regisseur James Cameron einfließen.
pt.5 Another amazing Film-Painting fact. James Cameron (director of Avatar) started out as matte painter & model maker. Here he is turning an abandoned field into a ruined dystopian New York cityscape for the Apocalyptic Sc-Fi movie "Escape from New York" (1981).

Und wünscht sich Aufklärung zu dem Gerücht, die Star Wars- Bilder seien auf Duschtüren entstanden.
Pt.6 Star Wars – painted on Shower Doors? Truth or myth? Perhaps someone at @DisneyLucasFilm can confirm (or deny) that the fabulous rumour that the original matte paintings for the first 3 Star Wars film were painted onto shower doors? We love the art & the mythology behind it pic.twitter.com/sYmh7SbTyY

Einfach nur: Amazing!
The painted Star Wars – if you look closely at the award ceremony at the end of STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE, you'll see that the rebels on the edges, left and right, and the ones in the distance were actually a painted matte, as was the entire background. Amazed? pic.twitter.com/oo6ZkJosW2
