Making aerial scenes look like they go on for miles.

[leeman]

hi, I watch films that have large aerial scenes like 'King Kong' in New York city and 'The Day After Tomorrow' and I wanted to know how they make the background go on for miles like in this image on this link. New York Aerial view in king kong (http://www.gothamist.com/attachments/Jen%20Chung/2005_11_kingkong.jpg). Could you help me please? :)

A technique sometimes used is projecting a detailed matte painting onto simple 3d objects.
