Movie Special Effects: How Do They Do It‪?‬

Every time we see a Hollywood movie, we are amazed by the special effects in it. The thrillers, action, fantasy and science fiction movies are filled with unimaginable special effects that make the public feel like that is really possible, really happening.

When watching a movie, usually we don’t think of the way these effects are made, but when it’s over we begin wondering how everything was made, how the move was filmed.

For some movies we never understand how the effects are even possible to create. And, we wonder, how do they do it? How it is possible to create another reality using computers and technology?

We all use computers today, but being ordinary people, we don’t have a clue how a computer can create a whole new reality.

Some of them are based on bestselling novels and some are written especially for movies. Most of the movies break the limits of our imagination and transport our minds in another environment, reality or a situation.

All of this is simply unimaginable, unbelievable, still made to be perceived and accepted as real.
