Last year I assisted Expanse, Norway with the creation of a matte painting for one of their clients. That client, Ice Group Norway is a provider of mobile phone and data service for the Norwegian consumer market.
The commercial was one of a series promoting new low-price plans, and I was tasked with creating new windows and a wintry, typically Norwegian suburban scene outside. Layers were maintained for grading and the inclusion of animated snow in comp.
The first of the three images is an original plate with the actor in-situ. The second is the matte that I completed, and the third is a still from the final production.
