Popular Movie Scenes Before and After Special Effects


Obviously you know that a lot of special effects go into big budget movies, but it’s still amazing to see these scenes before and after their special effects (Or, in this case, after then before…).

When you’re watching a movie with incredible CGI, you tend to forget that it’s even there (at least when it’s done well) but the fact is that it plays a huge, huge role in making movies look the way they do.

Here’s a look at some of your favorite movies (and tv shows) how you’re used to seeing them, and then before special effects have been added.
