A digital matte artist, or digital matte painter (DMP), is today's modern form of a traditional matte painter in the entertainment industry.

Most filmmakers still call what we do matte shots, and we like that because we see our work as an extension of the original craft. But it's more accurate to say we are involved in environment creation.
