Today we were exposed to the old ways of creating visual effects in older films like Star Wars- The Empire Strikes Back, the original version of The War Of The Worlds and Superman. They were hella complex and very difficult to understand, especially when the process was explained to us in a bunch of words. All I could do was trying hard not to doze off. I felt thankful for After Effects and (reluctantly) Shake software after the whole lecture. A click and everything is done for you.

But I guess producing visual effects then would have brought about a bigger sense of satisfaction. Too tedious. Feels like blood will be spilled at the end. Nevertheless, my hats off to those who dare to sacrifice for their craft and be good at what they do.
