Did you really think that The Life of Pi was actually shot in the middle of the ocean? Sorry to disappoint, but most of the amazing structures and scenic layouts we see in our favourite movies are actually just visual effects.
Sadly, many people aren’t aware that most of these films are shot in warehouses wrapped in different backdrops.
Here are a few before and after photos that show exactly how misleading visual effects can be:
Gravity
The Wolf of Wall Street
The Great Gatsby
Game of Thrones
World War Z
The Walking Dead
Boardwalk Empire
Oz, the Great and Powerful
The Avengers
The Dark Knight
The Hobbit
