Special Effects

Special effects are used in movies to create an illusion of reality with something that is totally fake. Over the years, Hollywood has perfected the art of using very simple tricks and techniques, to create some pretty amazing scenes on the big screen.

Share what you know about methods used by movie makers to produce these amazing productions. Tell about a movie you have seen recently where the producers were able to create something totally realistic, when in fact it was just an illusion.

What kinds of technology have been developed in recent years to help producers in their quest for even bigger and more mind boggling effects? What do you think the next 25 years will bring to Hollywood and the business of entertainment, when it comes to making the "unthinkable" part of our virtual reality.
