Follow UsCGI (computer-generated imagery) has revolutionized the way filmmakers tell stories. However, there are still some special effects scenes that rely on the talent and hard work of the cast and crew, instead of relying on digital trickery. Here are some of the most memorable movie scenes that don't use CGI:
Spider-Man
Tobey Maguire needed 156 tries to successfully catch everything on the lunch tray during the cafeteria sequence in Spider-Man.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rey produces an immediate piece of bread that was formerly an inflatable loaf that was submerged in liquid and gently expanded as the liquid was pushed out.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the production team spent four months making a 50-pound inflation costume for actor Pam Ferris to wear in the scene where Harry unintentionally uses an Inflation Charm on Aunt Marge.
Digital effects were only used for some of her floating as well as wire removal.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Director Tim Burton wanted 100 genuine squirrels for the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sequence in the nut sorting room, but he was only able to get 40 after 19 weeks of training by animal trainers.
Mission Impossible 2
The dagger that Ambrose comes quite close to Ethan Hunt's eye during the beach fight scene in Mission Impossible 2 was genuine, and a steel wire was the only thing keeping it away from Tom Cruise's eye.
Skyfall
Daniel Craig and Ola Rapace performed their own stunts for the train pursuit sequence in Skyfall, which was filmed on top of a train that was genuinely moving.
