It is amazing to see the Hollywood movies that we love so much while they are being made. The movie industry has made great strides thanks to technological advances, such as impressive CGI (computer-generated imagery) and green screen technology. It’s safe for me to say that we are no longer living in an era of smoke and mirrors. Hollywood has changed and we can see the results.
No longer do we have to settle for “special effects” that aren’t impressive enough. Hollywood has done a great job convincing us. You might be curious to know how they do it. They usually do it in a huge hangar, in front of a green screen. There’s also post-production. It involves a lot of “after-effects.” Take a look at these cool photos showing the magic of Hollywood.
10 Game of Thrones
Targaryen’s three dragons can be identified by their color scales. Drogon is red, Rhaegal green and Viserion yellow/gold. These three dragons are very similar to the ones in “Adventure”, an Atari 2600 game. Did you know? Emilia Clarke got three tattoos of dragons on her wrist after filming the final scenes. It was a way for her to mark their presence in her heart and her body.
9 Space Jam
This movie is a feel-good film that we all saw way back when, but never really thought about the process. We just wanted to see the movie, not care about it. Now, it’s another thing. Sorry, folks, Michael Jordan was not actually speaking to cartoon characters.
Nearly all of the effects you see on the screen were created by the rapid advancement of computers in the field of animation. This is Space Jam’s most important aspect. After meeting Michael Jordan, the camera pans upward and we see a miniature rooftop. The camera pans higher to see the computer-created sky and the Nerdluck’s home planet.
