  • G.

  • I.

  • But weren't Hello case for this list to be looking at various movie special effects that we thought were C.

  • G.

  • I.

  • But we're actually done practically.

  • Were you fooled by any of these?

  • Let us know in the comments Number 10.

  • The food catch spiderman being an actor must be weird.

  • Sometimes you nail an assignment on the first try and sometimes it requires over 150 takes, wow, great reflexes.

  • Almost immediately after gaining his spidey senses, peter uses them to catch mary jane from taking a nasty spill.

  • He also shows off his newfound reflexes by catching her falling lunch with the tray to achieve the effect.

  • Tobey Maguire's hand was glued to the tray and he was required to catch everything for real.

  • Hey, blue eyes, I didn't notice without your glasses, Just get contacts.

  • It was even harder than it sounds.

  • This.

  • 5 2nd stunt took 16 hours 156 takes to get right.

  • Just imagine if they bungled the line after all of that.

  • How did you do that?

  • Uh work out plenty of rest, you know, eat your green vegetables.

  • That's what my mom is always saying.

  • I just never actually believed her number nine.

  • Pennywise eyes it and it chapter two a large emphasis was placed on Pennywise eyes.

  • Director of Photography chung chung chung specifically lit his eyes in a different way to make them stand out and Bill Skarsgard added his own personal touch okay.

  • And some of the horror sequences Pennywise his eyes go in different directions almost as if he's shedding his human persona and revealing his true otherworldly Nature.

  • You're supposed to say three turns out Skarsgard can actually just do that.

  • So no C.

  • G.

  • I.

  • Was required while appearing on Conan.

  • Bill Hader shared a funny anecdote about Skarsgard doing it on set and creeping him out.

  • He senses something he kind of goes like you know whatever and his eye goes like that and I go how is that a digital thing?

  • And he went oh you mean this?

  • And then he just did it number eight landmark destruction Independence Day.

  • This movie is filled with iconic scenes including the destruction of various american landmarks, numerous buildings are hit by alien beams and shatter into pieces including the White House, the U.

  • S.

  • Bank tower and the Empire State Building.

  • None of this was achieved through C.

  • G.

  • I.

  • The special effects team built model miniatures of the famous landmarks and then blew them to smithereens With the help of some clever camera positioning the optical illusion was complete.

  • Help the fire spread towards the camera.

  • They actually were forced to build the Model Street on its side and place the camera at the top of a makeshift chimney.

  • So when we have our destruction and our fire and everything starts here, it will run up the street as it eats up the fuel and our camera will be mounted about five ft off the set.

  • It sounds exhausting, but it all worked out perfectly.

  • Number seven XO suits Edge of Tomorrow.

  • I've never been in one of these.

  • Well, I've never been with two girls at the same time before, but you can bet when that day comes, I'll make it work.

  • Tom Cruise.

  • Clearly enjoys doing movies in which you can go hard and do things for real.

  • Edge of tomorrow is no different.

  • Some worse and cheaper movies would probably be content strapping Cruise and Emily blunt into a prop chair and digitally adding the exhaust suits around them.

  • Not this one, the team of filmmakers crafted over 100 prop battle suits, many of which weighed upwards of £85.

  • When filming first started, it took crews about half an hour to climb in and out of the bulky prop suits.

  • So if it looks like the actors are struggling inside those things, that's because they most certainly are number six contortion.

  • The Conjuring the devil made me do it.

  • All sorts of movie tricks are used to depict demonic possession.

  • Some include lots and lots of makeup and others require some inventive stunt work and sometimes you just hire a skilled contortionist in the beginning of this movie, Ed and Lorraine are exercising a demon from an eight year old boy named David.

  • The boy makes some crazy movements with his body, all of which was performed by a contortionist named emerald Gordon Wolf.

  • It was a combination of our real actor and a contortionist which took his place.

  • It speaks to the Conjuring tradition.

  • The only C.

  • G.

  • I involved in this scene was swapping wolf's face with that of child actor Julian Hilliard.

  • The movements themselves are very real and very terrifying.

  • Number five The Dinosaurs Jurassic Park.

  • Some people may have misconceptions about Jurassic park.

  • Spielberg's masterpiece is considered a landmark in the history of C.

  • G.

  • I.

  • But very few of the dinosaurs were actually computer animated.

  • The dinosaurs that hold up specifically.

  • The T.

  • Rex were made practically the velociraptors were played by men in dinosaur suits and both the Dell apatosaurus and triceratops were animatronic models and my favorite when I was a kid.

  • And the T rex was also an animatronic model that stood 20 ft high and weighed over £17,000.

  • All were made by the legendary stan Winston who earned his third Oscar for best visual effects being right all the time.

  • Number four weightlessness.

  • Apollo 13.

  • Well folks as you can probably tell the Aquarius isn't much bigger than a couple of telephone booths.

  • The skin of the limb in some places is only as as thick as a couple of layers of tinfoil and that's all that protects us from the vacuum of space.

  • It's easy enough to do weightlessness.

  • with the help of C.

  • G.

  • I.

  • Put the actors on some cables fly them in front of a green screen and a digital backdrop and call it a day.

  • But Ron howard wanted to do it for real Howard approached steven Spielberg and asked him how he should do the weightless scenes and Spielberg recommended using a Boeing KC 1 35 by using a specific flight pattern.

  • This plane would give the actors and filmmakers about 20 seconds of weightlessness when you're weightless it feels like you've just been spun upside down.

  • All the blood goes into your head and it feels like like a rock o plane at the amusement park.

  • It feels like you just got spun upside down.

  • You think suddenly like you think hey I'm upside down.

  • No I'm not.

  • What's wrong?

  • Why is it different?

  • Oh I'm floating And then you realized well I guess this is weightlessness.

  • Yes this likely required lots of takes and it probably resulted in lots of upchuck lunches.

  • They don't call it the vomit comet for nothing but the result looks spectacular and that's it.

  • He just put Sir Isaac Newton in the driver's seat, number three.

  • The swinging pole cats.

  • Mad max Fury road.

  • Mhm.

  • Much of mad max Fury Road was filmed practically and it helped the movie attain high praise.

  • Everything looks amazing and there's just a certain satisfaction in watching real vehicles blow up and flip over in the movie's climax.

  • The bad guys swing back and forth on massive poles that are attached to their vehicles.

  • Action Unit director Guy Norris hired a cirque du Soleil performer to train his stunt team in the use of poles and they proceeded to do everything for real while speeding through the desert.

  • The choreographed performance was filmed in one take and captured by numerous cameras allowing George miller to construct a fluid and exciting sequence.

  • In the editing room number two the spinning hallway inception the idea of using a centrifuge to manipulate gravity has been done on various films, most notably Kubrick's 2001 and I like the idea of repurposing that technology and really trying to choreograph entire fight sequence Christopher.

  • Nolan is probably the only director who can say I need a giant spinning hallway that likely costs tens of millions of dollars and the producers simply not and say whatever you need rather than using C.

  • G.

  • I.

  • For the hallway fight Nolan and his team decided to craft 100 ft long corridor that spun on eight concentric rings.

  • Joseph Gordon?

  • Levitt actually did his own stunts inside the spinning hallway and it required weeks of preparation and training.

  • It looks like we're jumping on the ceiling and stuff in order to actually get it done.

  • I couldn't think of it that way, I had to think of it as this is the ground.

  • Okay now this is the ground.

  • Okay now this is the ground.

  • Nolan himself has even referred to the spinning hallway as a torture device as it thrashed the actors and left them extremely disoriented.

  • So many action movies now it's all done on computers later.

  • Whereas these scenes that we did, it was so well thought out.

  • It's just things revolving and it's up to me to keep my balance and we did the performance and they shot it and that's that.

  • Before we unveil our topic here are a few honorable mentions splash head terminator two judgment day.

  • And seeing the cameraman point you know from 10,000 ft in the air and you see the ground approach, it's phenomenal.
