Trailblazers with Walter Isaacson   /     Visual Effects: Making Magic on the Silver Screen

Summary

The 1902 film "A Trip to the Moon" is considered one of the earliest films to incorporate visual effects. Using double exposure stop motion animation, director George Méliès created the iconic image of a rocket skip flying directly into the Moon’s eye. This ingenious bit of visual trickery helped pave the way for the groundbreaking and award winning effects we’ve seen in many of our favorite movies. Today, CGI, motion capture technology and infrared cameras are pushing the boundaries of what's possible on the big screen. Hear how on this episode of Trailblazers. Featuring Craig Barron, John Dykstra, Dennis Muren, Eric Saindon and Pablo Helman.
