Special Effects On Movies: Common SPFX Used On Popular Movies

By Rino Salante


If you are always watching movies and television shows, you will find things that are very hard to explain like people who are flying or tragedies and other phenomenon that looks very real. These are physically impossible, but when it comes to movies, everything is possible with the use of Special Effects.

The special effects used in the past are nothing compared to the ones that are currently used on movies today. The special effects nowadays look very natural and you won't even say that it is just special effects because they look very real. This is the main reason why movie makers are spending a lot of money for the sake of these special effects. So what are the very common effects used by movies?

The Use of Flying Effects

With all the movies in the past and present, this is probably the most common special effects that they used. You can see this on popular superhero movies like Thor, Ironman, Superman and The Avengers. Though it has been used ever since, the technology did not remain stagnant. It has improved over the years until they managed to create effects that don't look unprofessional.

The Use of Supernatural Powers

This is also the same with flying effects but supernatural powers are mostly based on pure special effects. The actors will still do their thing while casting their powers, but the special effects will bring it to life. If you will watch them behind the cameras, you won't see rays of light or fire burning skills while they are doing it, but all the effects will be added and edited when it is placed in the computer.

Deaths of Casts

Some of you are probably asking how they manage to show that a person is killed in the movies, though they are still living in real life. They are using special effects to show that a person is being killed in movies. They are not literally killed. They are using the special effects to add a little excitement and thrill to the viewers.

Natural Phenomenon and Disasters

This is probably the most amazing effects used on various movies since the effects can create hurricanes, storms, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and more. They are not filming a real tragedy but these phenomenons are created through the use of special effects. All of these will not be possible without popular and professional providers like Pollard Productions Rigging.
