How do they create special effects in movies?
Special effects come in a huge variety of forms. The term covers almost everything that is created to enhance a shot. Many of them are created on a set - fake explosions using compressed air for example or specific camera movements and angles to create a sense of movement and size. Increasingly, effects are added electronically in the post production phase: Film directors often film the whole movie then add special effects later on a computer. An example is the technique called chroma keying, also known as green screen or blue screen. Filming a subject in front of a blue or green background allows the subject to be superimposed onto backgrounds at a later time. This kind of technique allows an actor to appear in a place that would otherwise be impossible. If the director wants the actor to be in outer space, chroma keying lets it happen. Underwater or in the middle of a raging fire are just as easy. As computing power increases, so the complexity of the effects grow and become more lifelike. Despite the growing use of computers, there are still a vast number of effects that are created on a set using very simple techniques by craftsmen who spend their working life making us believe that it's happening for real.

What is foley sound?
Foley effects are sounds made and recorded for movies but added after the visual portion has been recorded. Foley artists use a series of tools and props usually banged together or dragged on each other. Th euse of foley effects dates back to silent movies when a piano player and a helper made all of the sounds for that movie.
Are the laptops on iCarly real?
If your talking about the touch screen laptop she was carrying around that looks like a tablet.... they are actually real. They are called Tablets. Just a swivel laptop screen that touch. HP makes them and they run about $900. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No, the laptops are just props. They look real but really they are just fake laptops with green screens where the real screen should be. When the actors are on one they just type and click randomly. Then, in post production, what you see on the screen is added. It looks real but it is really just some special effects and good acting!

Should animals be used in movie stunts?
A big fat NO to that question! If animals were used in movies stunts, what might happen if the movie stunt is dangerous? The animal might get hurt, or worse, die. People also have special technology to make it look like something is there but it wasn't when they were recording. People just act like it's there. That is called special effects. People can use special effects instead of animals. What would they rather do? Would they risk hurting an animal or use special effects? If people did use animals, they could use special affects to make it look like it is real, but it still wouldn't be safe.

Why are old movies better than new movies?
The perception that old movies are better than new movies is subjective and can vary among individuals.

Both old and new movies can offer unique and valuable cinematic experiences.
