Matted into the scene?

I always assumed  that this final scene in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” (1989) was filmed on location in Petra, Jordan.  That building carved out of a rock wall is real. But on second look, I think the actors are blue screened in to the location.

(This was 1989, before they were using GREEN screens, BLUE was dominant).

 

What do you think?

Maybe the area in front of the real Petra is too narrow to fit a film crew?

Merry Christmas from MattKProvideo.

The bell was made in Adobe Animate ( Flash). The lights were made in Adobe Photoshop  ( I drew the string of lights in Adobe Photoshop. I duplicated in colored some bright and glow-ey and some dull.) and it was all composited in Adobe After Effects.

I was hired to shoot raw footage for a company that runs special teaching sessions on kicking a football for high school athletes.

I was one of four camera operators, so who knows how much of my footage will get used.  At one point someone even flow a drone over the site.

Teeth and Skull After Effects

 

I took an un authorized photo of my dental x ray.

 

I played with it in Adobe Photoshop.

 

Then I imported it into Adobe After Effects.

I made it a  ” CC Sphere”  and rotated it. I noticed it was too close. I photoshopped it with more room on top and bottom.

You can tell I added a Stylize > Glow  adjustment layer, with different opacity layers.
