The painting was created by Universal Hartland matte artist Jena Holman under the supervision of visual effects artist David Stipes.

BOG Behind the Scenes Fake Entrance143 viewsA commercial was to be shot and shown to generate excitement and attract people to the show while the ride itself was still being designed and constructed. The major drawback was that nothing was finished enough to be photographed or to show off. So it was decided that a matte painting has to be created to show a Cylon styled ship or structure that opens and kidnaps a Universal Studios Tour tram.

The following steps will show you how this special shot was done.
