Description
We've all sat spellbound in our seats at the cinema and thought, How did they do that? as another stunning special effect unfolds in front of us. These effects are the product of a whole range of movie-making techniques and visual trickery that make us believe in the exploding spaceships in Star Wars or talking animals in Babe.
