How special effects were made before CGI

You light up my life …

The Indoraptor in 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' was mainly a CGI creation

Practical effects are the best!!!

The precision artistry and engineering that went into movie special effects is truly something to marvel at. James Cameron’s “Aliens”, in particular, is one of the most life-like transformations of these sub-scale models to stunning, and convincing, theatrical visuals. We have forgotten the greatness of physical models with the advent of CGI—which has lost the “revolutionary” luster it once had.

That's really cool. This is back when filmmakers were creative.

@mcuban This is fascinating.. my uncle use to be a special effect expert.. he explains ’i use to do it directly on films, no softwares..’ I understand what he meant now..

A cig out the side of the mouth while working was a requirement without cgi.

Wait a Minute... That's Grazy bro...😯

@mcuban Now that is imagination..

that's better than cgi
