| Mnementh said: Hah, there was a lot of thoughtgoing into effects pre-CGI. And in the time CGI came into being, some movies mixed CGI with other effects. The original Jurassic Park is pretty well known for that, having some dinos animated with computer, but others being animatronic puppets. And Spielberg was pretty good in hiding the transitions between the two. Same with Total Recall, which had miniature models, animatronics, but also CGI. |
The only CGI in Total Recall was the x-ray scene
It was one of the most expensive films to make at the time. They film required so many sets, crew and cameras.. definitely a visual feast for the eyes!
