You know when you’re watching a dragon swoop past in Game of Thrones or Godzilla battering a 1000ft moth to death in the cinema that you’re watching special effects. We don’t mind – without SFX things wouldn’t be quite as spectacular, would they? But do you realise just how extensively effects are used in TV shows and films?
If you’re anything like us, probably not. These photos below show just much much is graphically produced. These behind-the-scenes pictures really are quite shocking! Check ’em out…
The Hobbit
ABC’s The Walking Dead
The Leo-starring version of The Great Gatsby
Another DiCaprio modern classic, The Oscar-winning The Wolf of Wall Street
TV smash hit fantasy series, Game of Thrones
South African sci-fi favourite District 9
Deadly Honeymoon
Multiple Oscar-winner, Gravity.
The tiger in Life of Pi!
Even shots like this are faked sometimes. Here’s an ‘exterior’ shot from Ugly Betty
Here’s a scene from The Secret In Their Eyes
Paranoia
Two Face from The Dark Knight
The Avengers from Marvel Studios
HBO’s ever-brilliant Boardwalk Empire
Alice in Wonderland
Oz – The Great and Powerful
Grey’s Anatomy
Twilight
Quite surprising, isn’t it? You understand the monsters and crumbling buildings being faked, but shots of a city? Surely it must be easier to just film there for real?! Or maybe not…
Shock a friend today – if you know a fan of one of these movies or shows, why not send this on to them?
