Amazing, over the top, 100% believable
special effects. Proof of an unlimited budget and years worth of
work....is exactly how I would not describe “A Trip To the Moon”
Cute, I can give it that. I can also
see where this opened doors for film makers everywhere, and why it is
dubbed as such an innovative film. Although today we mock the “not
to special” special effects, I can only imagine how
special they were when the film came out. They incorporated space
travel and views from the moon which was like a whole new world to
film makers. Special
effects include dusty explosions, superimposition, miniatures and
animation, which is honestly more than I could accomplish if I were
to attempt making a film. The director was truly pushing boundaries
and demonstrating the potential for narrative storytelling, making a
production that couldn't be presented
on
the stage. (Not that I would want to see the play version of this
either, no offence)
Yet,
I have to admit, It
was incredible to watch something so old but so interesting. It was
crazy to think this was about where It all started. The techniques
the
director uses
are some of the most popular in today's movies, and
It is so neat to see how far they have come and how far 100+ years
from now they will be at.
