Star Wars Episode I : The Phantom Menace

This shot featured an extensive camera move to reveal the size of the imaginary location. Essentially a "3D matte painting", the matte painting was projected onto 3D computer graphics geometry, and the virtual camera was animated moving inside of this environment. The figures throughout the scene, as well as the strange looking sculptures, were shot as blue screen elements and projected onto polygons inside of the virtual painting environment.
