If you ’re searching for something fascinating to occupy an hour , this 1984 Nova special is an excellent choice . It ’s a documentary film that goes from Georges MélièsA Trip to the Moon to the kings of special effects in the 80s .
Unsurprisingly , The Magic of Special Effects spends a pregnant amount of time with Industrial Light & Magic , reminding you just how awing the work on Star Wars and Indiana Jones really was .
From a pic history position , there are a span of other interesting things going on here . First , the docudrama itself bear witness just how quickly the film industry was able to forge young ways to trick the centre . Second , as it ’s now thirty years old itself , the documentary is now a time condensation of the history of special effects from the twist of the century to the 1980s .
There ’s an emphasis on in - camera personal effects — good example , lusterlessness paintings , etc . — that is lacking from the behind - the - scenes result TV of today . There are still hardheaded effects used , but CGI is doing a lot of great lifting . For lesson , thisGame of Thrones core reel :
All CGI , and telling in its own way . But it ’s a definite direct contrast from the 1984 state of affairs .
