The Art of Practical Effects in Cinema
Manage episode 476164539 series 3586582
In this nostalgic-meets-nerdy episode, we go all in on one of our favourite filmmaking obsessions: practical effects.
From the animatronic shark in Jaws to painted backdrops, set illusions, and that iconic roller-skating moment from Chaplin - we explore how filmmakers have been bending reality long before VFX took over.
We also share stories from our own sets, from space ships made of staples to sets running on three timelines at once (organised chaos, anyone?).
Whether you're a film student, an indie creator, or just love a good behind-the-scenes peek, this episode is packed with tips, memories, and a lot of appreciation for the original movie magic.
