Thanks jpwagoneer1964!

You are right, but, even if parts of a mountain were added, the mountains were all real
in the first place.

You can visit these mountains in Alberta, Canada.

However, I do not know if the added parts of a mountain is real??
As in: http://www.buzzimage.com/en/work/making_of/33

Do you know? Hope one can understand this? And find out?

Hugs!

That what I meant, they were real but just not where we saw them.
Thank you Heath and Jake for showing us Ennis and Jack,  teaching us how much they loved one another.

Thanks jpwagoneer1964!

It could be that some parts of those mountains were NOT real in the first place, and made as drawings becoming paintings, created like that by someone or many persons on the computor, like some false sheep, are??

That I want to find out.


I am an artist painter, and painting daily I know such mountains can be created in paintings! As realism or even as hyper-realism or as photo-realism!!

If any here can or you might find out??

Hugs!

Artiste,

I have no way of knowing whether the mountain matte shots in BbM are composited from photos, or digital matte paintings, but you might enjoy this book on the subject of movie matte painting:

http://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Art-Legends-Movie-Painting/dp/081184515X

"The Invisible Art: The Legends of Movie Matte Painting" by Mark Cotta Vaz and Craig Barron (with a foreword by George Lucas)

It covers the history of matte painting in movies from the silent era, "The Wizard of Oz" and "Gone with the Wind", Disney and Hitchcock classics, to more recent films such as "Star Wars", to "Casino" and "The Truman Show."

I recommend it!

Did the two main actors talked about the sheep?

Real ones only?

Fake ones?

Hugs to all!
