And VfxTalk have an article with Screaming Death Monkey's Jeremy Hunt and the studio's work on 300. Read it HERE (http://www.vfxtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9094).
For the skies I painted everything in Photoshop using a hybrid of photography and water colors to get the look that the client was after. From there they had to be brought to life. The clouds needed to move and roll like real clouds, etc. Fusion was indispensable in that regard. Being able to load the PSD and have all of the layers as separate loaders was great and, since the layers rarely used normal blending modes, Fusion’s ability to replicate what Photoshop was doing made the process very simple.
