Matte Painting in Motion

The task given was to to create a moving matte painting shot with parallax (perspective shift) utilizing camera projection mapping.

The story for my shot:
Ancient Greece. Cassandra, Talons' beloved, was taken away by Death to the Underworld of Hades. But being the foolhardy, stubborn being that Talons is, and above all else, unable to accept that their time together was short-lived, Talons descend to the world of the dead to take back Cassandra from the clutches of Death. He first arrives at the Gate of Hell, surrounded by pillars of dread, the searing heat and other unfortunate souls making their way to the underworld as well. Beyond the gates, Talons' see his ultimate destination.

I was mostly influenced by the game "Hades" made by Supergiant Games at the time as I was hooked on playing it.

I attempted photobashing as a challenge since it was out of my comfort zone compared to just painting the entire scene and the end product still has a rather cheesy, unrealistic feel. Plenty to improve on.
