VFX in Movies
The Origin of Illusions in Vision:
To attract viewers in the early days of cinema, directors experimented with practical effects and optical illusions. A pioneer of early cinema, Georges Méliès astonished audiences with his inventive use of techniques including multiple exposures and stop-motion animation in films like "A Trip to the Moon" (1902). These methods demonstrated the ability of visual storytelling to spark the imagination and set the groundwork for the enchantment of visual effects.
The Age of Perfect Practical Effects:
Practical effects developed as cinema advanced, attaining unprecedented levels of invention and inventiveness. Filmmakers stretched the bounds of what was practical in classics like "King Kong" (1933) and "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), creating imaginative worlds with the use of puppets, forced perspective, and miniature models. These useful methods gave movies a real feeling of wonder and captivated viewers with their physical authenticity.
