How this Cliffhanger matte painting made its way to the Academy The matte painting from Cliffhanger donated by Michele Moen. Finally you’ll hear from Jenny He, an Academy Museum exhibitions curator, who specifically discusses the VFX gallery in the ‘Stories of Cinema’ section of the museum. He also reveals his part in the restoration of the Aries 1B Trans-Lunar Space Shuttle miniature used in shooting 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is also at the museum. Then, Craig Barron, now creative director at Magnopus, recounts the making of the Batman Returns work he oversaw at Matte World Digital that is currently on display at the VFX gallery. First, with Michele Moen, who details the matte painting from Cliffhanger now part of the Academy collection and about her time at Boss in those still ‘optical’ days of VFX (it turns out Michele also worked on Batman Returns at Boss). The result is this set of interviews, below. Finally, having been to the museum, I recalled seeing a number of items there made possible by visual effects supervisor Craig Barron (including Batman Returns matte paintings, and a miniature), so I figured why not ask Barron about those items, too. Then, I thought it might be fun to talk to someone at the museum itself about how these items tend to make their way there, and how they are displayed. So, I thought it would be fun to chat to Moen about this particular glass matte painting and how it came to be that she donated it to the Academy.
