Edward Muybridge was an English photographer that really contributed to and led the evolution of photogenic studies of motion and motion picture projection. Edward was born in 1830 so he lived through the age where photography was really picking up in popularity and a lot of that was due to him. Edward's most notable work had to do with horse. He was hired by a wealthy race horse owner to help solve their debate. They question at was whether or not all four feet of a horse were off the ground at the same time while trotting and gallop. This kind of puzzle was right up Muybridge's alley. He used a series of 12 cameras to photograph the horse's actions during a gallop. Since the human eye cannot keep up with everything at once, the use of a

This can be as simple as a background to a more complex version with scale modeling. A background is the most simple example. Set the scene with a picture or painting in the background to completely change the setting of the scene. It doesn't have to be real or interacted with. It only lets the audience assume the setting of the scene is in that location. Where it gets more complicated is when directors use scale modeling to represent something normally many times larger. The titanic was a perfect example of this. They used the 40 foot scale model of the ship instead of needing the 800 foot actual thing. Using camera angles and context they can trick the audience into thinking the 40 foot ship is the actual thing. The models still need to be to scale, otherwise the audience will pick up on the imperfections and begin to cause doubt in the audience's mind. Once this begins to happen, it's hard to convince them …show more content…
This man is a legend when it comes to special effects. The things he did for that film will be looked at as a masterpiece forever. Most people don't realize that movie came out in 1939. That's almost 80 years ago. To be able to produce those kinds of special effects that long ago really takes a master at his craft. He has a very successful career in special effects and rightfully so. Special effects have really grown since those kind of movies. Now everything can be done digitally. We live in the digital world where the possibilities are endless. These creators are able to come up with the most realistic things ever imaginable. Using computers, special effects designers can produce effects that really rival real life and put the audience to the test. Two movies that I grew up on were Flubber and the first two Jurassic Park movies. I am not joking. I would go to my grandmother's house almost every day and those were like the only movies she had on VHS. Those kinds of movies are prime examples of just how far the special effects have come. The entirety of both movies are purely done digitally. There is no little gelatin figure that bounces and dances around. It's all done digitally. There are no 75 foot dinosaurs to put on set. It needs to be done digitally. Digital special effects not only make movies much more realistic but it allows the possibilities to be endless. Someone could make a movie about
