Before CGI, movie magic was all about creativity, not computers 🎬✨ 🎨 Matte paintings on glass turned small sets into massive worlds. 🚢 Miniatures and models stood in for ships, cities, and buildings. 🔮 Tricks like the Schüfftan process, forced perspective, double exposure, stop-motion, and rear projection made the impossible look real. These weren’t shortcuts they were proof that imagination and craftsmanship could bring entire universes to life, decades before digital effects. - #movies #ci
