100 Years of Effects

One of the things I love about film is the escape. Experiencing the stories are far more immersive when the special effects deny logic and convince you of the impossible.

I found this clip on the tubes of you, and it reminds me of just how far effects have come.

This also reminds me just how unforgivable it is when they botch an effect. The bathroom scene during Wolverine and his cartoon claws was just painful knowing that Dinos came seamlessly alive in 1993.

There is no end to what can be accomplished. Perhaps someday we won’t need actors.
