These days, it seems like 90% of every movie was made inside a computer. Actors will train for years and ruthlessly compete for the opportunity to give a dramatic speech to a tennis ball on a stick. Time was that a movie’s setting and action was limited to what the art department could build with their own two hands, but now, even two people talking in their “living room” is just as likely a green screen.
That’s not to say no one is doing special effects the old-fashioned way. In fact, if it’s good enough, you probably just assumed it was CGI. For uAgentx6021, that was true about Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. They were impressed that “they used Q-tips for spectators at the pod race and poured salt to mimic waterfalls in Naboo,” as they told r/AskReddit.
They asked, “Movie buffs of Reddit, what special effect totally looks like CGI but was actually done practically?”
