  • your time.

  • But hey, everyone, I'm Rebecca and welcome to watch Mojo.

  • Today we're counting down our picks for the top 10.

  • Weirdest behind the scenes footage before effects.

  • It was absolutely exhausting, huh?

  • Tired.

  • I wish I was 10 years younger.

  • Eyes on your own cards, buddy.

  • All of them.

  • It's so hard to work with.

  • This is ridiculous.

  • For this list, we're looking at behind the scenes peeks that showcased the mundane and often hilarious reality behind extravagant visual effects.

  • So what movie shoots would you like to take a closer look at behind the scenes.

  • Be sure to let us know in the comments below.

  • All right, let's get into it.

  • Number 10 green hands, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

  • Since alas, Wizarding World Magic does not exist bringing Hogwarts the life required giant sound stages primarily it Leavesden studios and simple old green screen tricks.

  • One scene in the half blood prince has her mind returning books to their shelves while talking to Harry.

  • Given the circumstances, I've had to make other arrangements.

  • Have you?

  • Yes.

  • Why?

  • Well, I just thought saying is neither us could go with who we really like.

  • Thio should go together as friends as this.

  • Behind the scenes photo shows, the levitation was accomplished with green gloves, much like a green screen.

  • The hands were digitally erased in postproduction, leaving behind a floating book.

  • It's the exact same trick they used for Harry's invisibility cloak.

  • Well, let's see them put it on.

  • Whoa!

  • My party is gone.

  • Number nine Daenerys Dragon Game of Thrones Game of Thrones had a massive budget, which allowed them to build a giant dragon contraption that Emilia Clarke had compared to a theme park ride.

  • The scenes in which the NRA's rides Dragan required Clark to strap into a giant hydraulic machine placed in front of a green screen so that the things she's moving on is moving around as if she was really riding on Drogon.

  • But in a stage in Belfast, in front of green screen, the machine vaguely resembles a dragon, and it moves around to simulate their flight patterns.

  • Meanwhile, Clark is forced to just flail around and make menacing looks into the cameras.

  • It's certainly not an easy job, and Clark says as much in behind the scenes featurettes.

  • No wonder she was nominated for four Emmys.

  • You even imagine being on the back of a reptile that's breathing fire at your command.

  • That's huge.

  • Number eight puppeteers in hoodies solo a Star Wars story.

  • This seat taken.

  • Nobody is in the seat that ain't taken from debatable quality of the movie Aside, we have to give props to Solo for using old school practical effects.

  • It gives the movie a very authentic Star Wars.

  • The feeling.

  • In one of the film's most memorable sequences, Han meets Landau a card game, and they proceed to play with various alien creatures.

  • Alright, guys, E, but not quite.

  • Yeah, Every alien around the table was either a person in a costume or a puppet.

  • Check out this two headed alien as an example as this behind the scenes photo shows controlling the alien required four people in green hoodies to manually control each of the puppets.

  • Limbs.

  • Number seven friend like me, Aladdin, The friend like me sequence was perhaps the most visually dazzling and imaginative seen in the 2019 version of Aladdin.

  • Don't sit there buggy.

  • I'm here to answer all your midday prayers.

  • Luckily for us, Disney Music Vivo posted a video showing how they filmed the sequence, and it is equal parts bizarre and mesmerizing.

  • Will Smith and Mina Massoud performed in front of a blue screen and interacted with people in blue morph suits.

  • Don't sit there, buddy.

  • I'm here to answer all your midday prayer.

  • Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this footage is seeing the old fashioned tricks they utilized like a hydraulic couch and a platform that Smith stands on to make him look taller.

  • It's no surprise that this movie cost in the realm of 180 million to $200 million to produce.

  • You can clap now.

  • But who?

  • No, no, no, no, Please, Please, please, please.

  • You can thank me Outside in the Sun Number Six Barrel Escape.

  • The Hobbit.

  • The Desolation of Smog Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit was criticized for its over reliance on C G.

  • I well thought Master Baggins.

  • Wait, Go on, Let's go!

  • One look at the green fueled behind the scenes footage is enough to make the point.

  • Although we have to admit, filming this sequence with practical effects would have been pretty tough.

  • One of the most memorable scenes from the desolation of Smaug is the barrel escape which sees Bilbo and the dwarves riding on wine barrels while avoiding orcs and wood elves.

  • Yeah, one of these elves is Legolas, played by the returning Orlando Bloom.

  • To film the sequence, Bloom was placed in front of a giant green screen and see sawed by crew members in green suits.

  • CG backgrounds and barrels do the rest, firing my arrows and then doing one eighties and then three sixties and just It was carnage.

  • It was absolutely exhausting, Uh, tired.

  • I wish I was 10 years younger.

  • Number five, The Beast Beauty and the Beast up Hearing the suit for the motion capture.

  • It's an ordeal for my calf muscles alone, let alone just the whole whole body just to kind of manipulate seeing an actor decked out in what looks like giant puffy pajamas on set is a memorable sight indeed.

  • Thes motion capture suits air how colossus was brought to life in deadpool.

  • Such a you thing to say.

  • Go get him, Tiger!

  • Big C G.

  • I fight coming up Booth.

  • Same technique was used for the beast in the 2017 live action remake of Beauty and the Beast.

  • Emma Watson won our respect a new when we saw this footage because acting opposite Dan Stevens in this suit must have been quite a challenge.

  • Indeed, I really stood in awe.

  • Dent.

  • Not only did he conquer the technology, but he had fun with it.

  • He decided that this was a challenge and, of course, hats off to him for mastering the performance how she managed to keep a straight face while filming this, though we will never know.

  • Number four Petting Zoo dinosaurs.

  • Jurassic World Just imagine getting to work on a thrilling movie like Jurassic World, and your job is to crawl around on all fours with a child strapped to your back.

  • There's a scene in Jurassic World where Children right around on dinosaurs in a petting zoo.

  • The sequence was probably fun to film for the kids, but maybe not so much for the adults who had to crawl around acting like dinosaurs, depending on how many ticks they had to dio.

  • Industrial light and Magic certainly lives up to their name, because transforming this hilarious site into a cute and heartwarming scene is true magic indeed, places for little kids um e wanna go into spending dancer Rex no number three Super Man's flight.

  • Man of Steel.

  • How do they film Superman flying away really fast?

  • The answer lies in an awkward hip thrust and a quick camera.

  • Zoom out after saving Lois, Superman takes her to a cornfield while talking, a very serious look comes across his face and he zips away into the sky.

  • It looks and sounds really cool, but the reality is anything but.

  • Henry Cavil looks concerned and proceeds to puff out his chest and look upwards as the camera quickly zooms out and tilts up, revealing a boom mike in the process.

  • Filming these movies seems like a lot of silly fun.

  • Number two.

  • The Train climax Back to the future, Part three.

  • Just hold up.

  • It's a science experiment.

  • So what did they do before?

  • C.

  • G.

  • I was widely practiced and adopted models and miniatures, mostly as this glorious picture shows filming the climactic train sequence in back to the future.

  • Part three involved miniatures, a car, a camera guy up on a scaffold and some convincing dirt and shrubbery, and the best part about it is that it actually worked as the train scene looks amazing to this day.

  • Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for that awkwardly rendered moment where Doc and Clara right away on the hoverboard.

  • Number one rocket raccoon.

  • Guardians of the galaxy Oh yeah, yeah.

  • Rocket Raccoon is one of the most beloved characters in the Marvel canon, even if he's composed entirely of computer graphics and Sean Gunn in a green costume.

  • Much like Gollum Gun provided the physical movements of Rocket on Set so that the animators and actors would have something to work with.

  • A lot of times he had this green body suit with just his face, you know, sticking out of it, and he would crawl around like crab so that he's the height of rocket.

  • It's a great and time honored way to go about it.

  • However, this method also results in some awkward moments, like Dave Batista petting a fully grown man on the head.

  • If this list proves anything.

  • It's that modern technical wizardry often boils down to people doing goofy things in green morph suits.

  • And so, really, the character of Rocket is created by many, many people.

  • And that's one of the things I think that makes him seem so riel.

  • Tow us is because he does have this life of his own bond.

  • We're all sort of serving that I'll be honest with you even now, knowing what I know about how they shot it.

  • I still do not see the miniatures in back to the future Part three.

  • And when I was a kid, I definitely just thought that they destroyed an entire Lokomotiv.

  • So how about you?

  • Are there any movie scenes that when you see behind the scenes footage, you are absolutely blown away?

  • Be sure to let us know in the comments below, or come tell me on Twitter or Instagram at Rebecca Britain or on my YouTube channel C.
