For as long as I can recall I’ve been fascinated by the behind-the-scenes work that makes television, film, and even stage so realistic. I’m a bit old school and really appreciate the actual concrete set building (and gory effects as need be) but I have to admit the progress green-screen technology has made in taking the viewer to magical places is phenomenal. Here’s a great illustration of the effects in action from the visually stunning Great Gatsby.
