wait that's not real welcome to
watchmojo.com for the list we'll be
going over the moments and scenes from
movies that utilize surprisingly subtle
computer-generated imagery such that the
audience probably didn't even notice if

number 10 spicing up locations the wolf
of wallstreet
despite director martin scorsese's
reputation as a proponent of classic
cinematic techniques he has adapted with
the times when it can help enhance his
movies that's why we at Stratton Oakmont
pride ourselves on being the best
trained professionals to guide you
through the financial wilderness the
wolf of Wall Street may seem like a
fairly straightforward film that
wouldn't utilize much in the way of
visual effects but many of its locales
are partially created or extended
through computer imagery taking existing
footage and enhancing the ambience we
arrive to prison
sounds absolutely terrifying especially
notable is the final shot of a
minimum-security prison with a tennis
court which is actually several shots
stitched together Jordan Belfort's
success is a lot hollower than it first
appears I can't tell you how excited I
am who should be number 9 Philadelphia
skyline Shazam
one of the film's most memorable scenes
sees the titular superhero showing off
for a crowd on the iconic Philadelphia
steps up to the city's Museum of Art
made famous by the movie rocky the
filmmakers had trouble securing the
location for filming and even shot an
alternate version set elsewhere however
when they did finally get the right to
shoot there the weather was foggy
preventing the iconic skyline from being
visible to rectify this the skyline was
added in digitally well the effects
artists probably can't shoot lightning
with their hands they did perform a
nifty bit of magic with them here none
of that stuff is there so that's a big
reconstruction prime number 870 San
Francisco zodiac this suspenseful
thriller directed by David Fincher
follows the investigation into the real
unsolved murder cases involving the
Zodiac killer in the 1970s San Francisco
Bay Area
although costumes and sets went a long
way towards recreating the time period
visual effects were used extensively as
well
many establishing shots were required
creating detailed 3d environments via
computer which looked fantastic on
screen I was first nervous about that
because this is gonna be the most
demanding type of shot you could do it's
not at night it's during the day the
lighting is from the left also whenever
possible
Fincher shot the scenes of the murders
at the actual locations they took place
in which necessitated some digital
alterations to make the areas look
correct for the decade number seven
falling through the ceiling Jurassic
Park
it's a dinosaur movie that has reigned
supreme since its release Jurassic Park
seamlessly blended practical effects and
CGI so well that they still look great
today however although the dinosaurs may
be the first thing that spring to mind
when it comes to this movie CGI one
moment that viewers may not have
realized was CG involves a human while
being stalked by velociraptors the
characters take refuge in vents however
young Lex drops through one at one
points with several raptors nipping at
her heels which she looks at before
briefly looking up at the camera this
short scene was performed by a stunt
double to avoid putting the underage
actress in danger and her face was
replaced in post-production hold on to
you but number 6 dog poop
John wick John wick is an action
franchise known for its stellar
practical choreography but it also has
some noticeable CGI particularly some of
the blood when characters get shot
however one of the more baffling uses of
CGI in this or any film is this scene
John wick yes sign here please after
getting his new dog from his dead wife
John has let the animal out to do her
business which she promptly does as
shown to the audience hey
[Music]
it's a blanket you'll miss it shot so
it's hard to believe that it cost a
reported $5,000 to create this was
apparently done because they couldn't
force the dog with laxatives given how
short the shot is we can't help but feel
that fake plastic poop would have been
cheaper when Ellen died I lost
everything
until that dog arrived on my doorstep a
final gift for my wife number five
quantum suits Avengers and game given
that it's a gigantic CGI filled
superhero movie they were bound to be a
few bits of visual effects to fly under
people's radars town once going down
while it was tempting to discuss caps
CGI cowl during his fight with himself
we elected to focus on the famous
quantum suits you got this right I do
during their plan to retrieve the
Infinity stones from the past
The Avengers squad suit up in quantum
time travel suits that can be donned
with the press of a button while many
probably assume their cgi is limited to
the effect of their formation in reality
none of the actors ever wore suits and
they're all completely realized with
visual effects one round trip each no
mistakes most of us are going somewhere
we know that doesn't mean you should
know what to expect
number four aged Logan Logan this
western inspired x-men film features
several CGI moments that can be hard to
spot including a number of scenes where
lead actor Hugh Jackman's face is
stitched on to a stunt double
however it's Jackman's own face that
gets the most hard to spot effects
always know who you is just sometimes I
don't recognize you Jackman is a damn
handsome man in real life so we figured
some kind of trickery had to be at work
to make him look older but although part
of Logan's more aged look is achieved
through makeup the rest of this
weather-beaten and war
old weary viscid is created via CGI
we should call me Logan
number three truck flip The Dark Knight
director Christopher Nolan frequently
uses practical effects in his films but
he utilizes CGI in order to sell some
moments more effectively one such moment
happens during the famous scene in which
Batman and the Joker appear to play
chicken with the former on a bat-cycle
and the latter and a semi-truck after
Batman ties up the truck with cables the
huge vehicle flips over completely in a
stunning shot although a real truck and
Driver were used the flip was aided by a
piston underneath the truck which was
simply erased in post-production to
complete the illusion my two guys on it
and they built the biggest piston ever
I've ever seen in my life in the back of
this truck and then some other guys that
reinforced the the drivers can I've
never seen so much steel in a in a cabin
all my life protecting this guy number
two stand in Iron Man Iron Man 3 through
out part of the third Iron Man
installment Tony Stark forgoes donning
the armor of his alter ego himself
following a brush with death instead he
opts to use a remote controlled version
life actually imitated art to some
degree during filming yep damn it no can
do
at one point actor Robert Downey jr.
broke his ankle which left him unable to
perform some scenes to solve this a body
double was used in his stead
Downey's face and performance were then
layered on top of the doubles for some
seats like his famous final I am Iron
Man moment the process is so slick we'd
have to be a genius on Starks level to
figure it out without help I guess I'd
say my armor
it was never a distraction or a hobby it
was a cocoon now before we get to our
topic here are a few honorable mentions
business classic replied with classical
drive so why don't you forget about the
perils of flying settle back they
mention that I haven't been tagged in 30
years cuz they suck at this game
extensively I'm attacked just saying is
there anywhere to make this a fair fight
jump out and swim

enhancements Mad Max fury road this
thrilling post-apocalyptic chase movie
is among the most celebrated action
movies in recent years in part due to
its practical stunts and effects but
even Mad Max fury road as a few
touch-ups
besides lots of color correction
throughout the movie which gave it its
distinctive orange tone
many of the film's signature car chase
scenes feature landscapes realized
through CG imagery
[Applause]
canyons and dusty plains were enhanced
or entirely rendered by visual effects
artists also some of the chase scenes
were composited together to include more
vehicles even so we think the results
are lovely regardless of the day do you
