With an art background, Syd Dutton worked for almost a decade in the
matte department at Universal Studios from the late seventies where he
learned the technique of motion picture matte painting from resident
matte artist Albert Whitlock. Following the retirement of Whitlock in
the mid eighties, Dutton and visual effects cinematographer Bill Taylor
set up the independent effects studio Illusion Arts.
