Since the beginning of moving pictures, there have been Special and Visual Effects. Starting with pioneering effects artists, the film industry has continued to amaze audiences by creating fantastic worlds and wondrous creatures that could only exist in the imagination. 

This week, we took a look at the history of film effects, and discussed the processes behind some of our favorite in-camera and practical effect techniques. We hope to revisit the topic again soon, and talk about the magic behind digital effects as well. 

As always, you can find show notes and sources on our blog: https://blackcasediaries.wordpress.com/ or website https://www.blackcasediaries.com/

Happy Listening!
