Local 3D artist Chris Dardis demonstrated the technique of camera projection mapping. This method was pioneered by the likes of ILM and Digital Domain and is used to give the illusion of 3d depth to traditional 2d Matte paintings which results in eye being cheated into believing that the flat image has tangible depth.
