Special effects are crazy and if they’re overused, can be off-putting (I’m looking at your Star Wars Episodes 1-3). But used right, and special effects can make a scene and drastically reduce set budgets. Check out these before and after shots of rather notable sets that we stumbled upon, including a pair from everyone’s favorite zombie show, The Walking Dead.
An escalator suspended 101 stories above Southern Manhattan. It's one of the most famous pictures of the new World Trade Center, and the new WTC isn't even finished yet. But the photo, which originally surfaced on Reddit, has a whole backstory to it, too, with some cool behind-the-scenes details from Scott Lahmers, the "elevator man" who took the photo.
What makes a champion out of an Aurora photographer? His amicably done work, his best selling pictures, his will to beat the odds, the vision that guides him to explore the vast stunning Universe, all combined in one. Surely, he is not the only one who has seen and felt the beauty of the night; that has turned him into a nocturnal reverie freak. Mind blowing photographs that depict the charm of the Celestial, right from the Sunrise to the Moonlit, Starlit nights comprise the Aurora photographs. You never fail to wonder whether there is some occult power in the Aurora photographs.
At the intersection of papercraft art and photography, you'll find Elly MacKay (aka Theater Clouds) and her wonderfully whimsical dioramas. The Ontario, Canada-based artist constructs miniature scenes of children flying planes, rowing a boat and even riding a tame tiger all inside a one-by-two-foot box. Her works begin by using a combination of papers to line the box including parchment paper, dollhouse wallpaper, Yupo paper (a synthetic plastic paper) and Mylar. The images are made using Yupo paper which she colors with ink and then cuts out. They're carefully set in place using wire and adhesives.
Nature and it’s beauty have always attracted mankind. Nature not only soothes the eyes but also put the body and the soul at solace and comfort. Lakes are God’s gift for us.

While The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters in just a little more than a week, this new 13-minute featurette is well worth committing the time as director Christopher Nolan, along with the film's cast and creative forces show how much went into the massive undertaking that was this film.
We also get some fascinating perspective on the film's intentions, characters, plot, and it really drives home the fact that this, indeed, is the finale to Nolan's groundbreaking Batman films and they intend to go out with a bang.
Arianna Marchesani is an architect by day. The amazing black and white photos that she takes are evidence of her mastery of shadows and light, and creative display of her not-so-common perspective of the world.
If you haven’t seen the movie Snow White and the Huntsman, then you’ll want to go see it after watching this video. Filmed with the Red Epic camera, the amount of detail that went into creating the Mirror Man is amazing. The guys over at The Mill Visual Effects Studio did many tests with liquid before deciding to use cloth instead. Cloth provided more control over making the sculpture appear seamlessly out of the mirror. At about 1:41 of the video, they break down the layers of the Mirror Man to show that the Red Epic camera was actually built in so that it could record Charlize Theron’s reflection during the actual scene. Pretty cool, huh?
These... are... freakin... hilarious. Please indulge in these creative photo manipulations of famous films.
