They built what? – The contemporary visual renaissance in the film industry
When was the last time you’ve seen a truly beautiful movie that took your breath away? When was the last time that you couldn’t get over a particular scene that gave you goosebumps every time you remembered it? If you’ve been to the cinema recently, similar feelings might have found you too. In the last couple of years, film enthusiasts were in luck because they could choose from memorable productions that brought back not just practical effects and built sets, but carefully designed costumes and vivid colouring to create immersive worlds often beyond imagination. Viewers once again could experience how much artistic work goes into making movies, apart from CGI and green screen.
