Movie magic surely has come far. From clay statues and stop-motions in early Hollywood movies, lifelike CGI can now recreate the most unreal scenery.
While the CGI looks flawless on screen, the hard work goes behind it often goes unnoticed. That means hours and hours that people work away on their computers, and meticulously craft scenes after scenes of cinematic wonders on screen.
But the work is more than just computer generated. A part of movie magic also goes into the makeup and wardrobe department. From accurate costumes in period dramas to body abnormality in horror movies, to scary-looking monsters, the make-up department is responsible for a large part of movie magic.
Together, they bring the vision of the director to life. And also treat us to amazing and fantastical movies. Here are 32 behind-the-scenes photos that show the stunning work in movies.
