100 Years of film effects

19 July 2009 No Comment

A very cool summary of the way in which effects have changed over the years in the film industry, some of the early ones are still a bit hard to unravel when you watch them now but this short video brings you up to date from the earliest through to the most recent cutting edge technology.

“A “5th-grader-friendly” collection of clips and making-of footage from notable visual effects films of the past century.”
Originally intended for educational use as an introduction to a classroom lecture.
The music track is “Rods and Cones” from the album “Audio” by Blue Man Group.
