Emilio Ruiz del Rio




i first heard of him when i was reading an article on Ray Harryhausen and Ray said he used a Spanish matte painter who worked on cut out aluminum. at first i thought it was a typo. cut out aluminum? much later i found his site and sure enough, he painted in camera mattes on site with aluminum. sadly he passed away this year. here's a few pictures of his work and a documentary has been made on him that i can't wait to come out on DVD.

whoa, it took me a second to figure out that first photo, then I read what you had to say. That is most impressive. Leads back to a discussion I was recently having with technology doing away with technique. Nice find, thanks for sharing.

I watched Conan the Barbarian the other day knowing that I'd see some of Emilio's matte paintings/miniatures (so many movies credited him for miniatures but they were actually matte paintings on foreground aluminum miniatures) and they still hold up. There are shots were you know it's a matte painting because it CAN'T POSSIBLY BE REAL...OR IS IT? Seriously I was like the RCA dog staring at the screen. Amazing work.

Thanks for posting.

Tennis elbow, inflammation of the elbow joint, is usually caused by overstrain of the muscles in the wrist and fingers.
Daily Trending Guide It is very painful and limits greatly the use of the hand as the pain radiates from the elbow to the outer side of the forearm.
You can use acupressure to improve the flexibility of the arm. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine most of the acupressure points which relieve tennis elbow are located in the Large Intestine meridian. So a better bowel function is a side effect of this treatment.

Evans played his trump card – i.e., Castle’s multiyear production deal with Paramount – to lure Castle out of the director’s chair,Old School New Body review and into the highly remunerative but largely ceremonial position of producer for Rosemary’s Baby.
