Before VFX: Blockbuster movies without visual effects. The site at the following link has a collection of of behind-the-scenes photos prior to visual effects, hence revealing green screen etc. shots, actors festooned with CGI motion-tracking rigs etc.
Discovered via NoFilmSchool, which I subscribe to and heartily recommend for makers and enthusiasts of movies and videos etc.
It even has some shots from John Carter, in which I was a film Extra, though sadly none of “my” scenes. I wish I could re-cut it, not only for my bits 🙂 but also to allow its climate catastrophe message to be more dramatically expressed, some of the “cutting-floor” scenes were truly emotional. Regardless, “all the world’s a stage” 🙁
