Overview

Explore the making part of filmmaking!

Film is the art of suspension of disbelief, but making is the craft thatâ€™s behind it all. Special effects guru Jesse Velez shares his expertise in practical effects, teaching the clever techniques and physical artistry used in cinema.

From tricking the eye with miniatures and "forced perspective" to creating the illusion of life through animatronics, puppetry, and costumes, Jesse explains how movie magic is really movie science and engineering.

With curious experiments to demonstrate foundational concepts, Making for the Movies is part how-to book and part reference guide that explain how and why 100-year-old methods still used in film today.
