Make: Making for the Movies: The Art and Science of Practical Effects in Film (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781680458657)

As CGI and digital effects dominate Hollywood blockbusters, a new appreciation has developed for the use of practical effects to suspend disbelief in film. Jesse Velez, owner of Raptor House FX, reveals the clever techniques and physical artistry used in cinema, from tricking the eye with miniatures and forced perspective to creating the illusion of life through animatronics, puppetry, and costumes. Curious experiments demonstrate key concepts, and teach 100-year-old methods still used today.
