Remember the days when special effects were obvious, rubbery, and a little laughable? Films have come a long way since then. Today, special effects are so realistic that we sometimes don’t even notice them.
A quick look at how special effects have evolved:
- Practical Effects: In the early days, films relied heavily on makeup, models, and puppetry.
- CGI: The introduction of Computer-Generated Imagery in films like Jurassic Park changed everything.
- Motion Capture: Characters like Gollum in The Lord of the Rings were brought to life using groundbreaking motion capture technology.
As technology continues to advance, the future of special effects seems limitless, but practical effects still hold a special place in our hearts. After all, nothing beats a good old explosion—real or fake!
