Air Force “UAS”

In May of 2009, I worked on a national Air Force commercial at Psyop, which highlights the technology of the Air Force unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). It aired nationally the week of 6.30.09 in television markets and select movie theaters across the country. The “UAS” commercial depicts a futuristic look at war and how what was once considered science fiction is now reality for the U. S. Air Force.

I created one very large (6K x 2.7k) matte painting of a barren Mars-like mountainous landscape (above), as well as three other supporting/related matte paintings and sky assets for this commercial. Shown are three of the matte paintings, four stills from the film using these matte paintings, as well as the commercial itself.
