Although Paris background is based on 3D model rendering it is completely re-painted and some parts of it are hand-painted. The width of the background is 12 000+ pixels. This allowed our team to use it for every possible scene in the Lazy Town ™ stories in HD format.
Paris background (panorama)
The background above for Lazy Town ™ episodes is based on original sketch by Snorri Freyr Hilmarsson. Matte painting had been started by Oli Dan and finished by me.
