Back then people actually worked on movies making miniatures and animatronics.. Trying to figure out how the fudge they did something was half of the fun of the movie. Not just anyone could go and make great effects, you had to work hard on it. CGI took the fun and work out of it. I hate CGI because of this. Me, as a future movie maker, won't ever want to use computer animation in my movies. CGI just ruins the film imo with laziness and unbelievable effects.
I miss the days before CGI when things took extreme detail and effort to create, and usually looked more photoreal when completed. Thanks for posting this series!
@MordaciousFilms just wanna say that even today, not everything is done with CGI. there's still a decent amount of good old craftsmanship like miniatures and such. you'd be amazed! and cgi isn't a dehumanized process, it takes skills and talent and can bring pure magic at times
God! I've seem these back in the early 90s. I used to video taped them, as years passed the video became fungus! Thought I never see these MOVIE MAGIC again.
Hey thanks for posting this. I watched this series as a kid and it inspired me to go into the visual effects field. I couldn't find many of these available on VHS so I gave up on collecting the series. Glad to see someone beat me to uploading the episodes, I have some on VHS but not all of them. I'm looking forward to viewing the ones I missed 15 years ago!
@DJsStratoArt Thank you for the comment, and watching. This is THE only place on the internet to watch this, correct duration etc, so please share with anyone even remotely interested in FX/film. (all credit goes to of course Discovery Channel, and once again Slugkiller Steve from the UK for sending me this entire season 1 to host!)
@TylerHaslett I have definitely, I made myself a playlist for all of them, going through them myself, because I work in video production and I use After Effects and Cinema 4D a lot in my work and most if not all the language and lingo come from these guys who did this work before the CG industry started to get bigger.
