Amazing Effects in Classic Films

Before CGI, before green screen, before drones, before rear-projection, before CGI, movies gave us awesome visual effects that astounded moviegoers. They did it the hard way, by coming up with new ideas and making them work, which could require months of work for a one-second effect. Film Riot presents some of those amazing effects and challenges us to guess how they were done. This should give you a new appreciation for the innovations of the early film industry. But even more so, for those stunts that were done without any Hollywood magic! (via Everlasting Blort)
