Act 01 - The prolouge
It was during the mid 90s is when I started watching films like ET, Star Wars etc on rented video cassettes. Highly inspired by tradition VFX methods used then before CG evolved. Super amazed how miniature props and sets were created on tables and shot with dynamic angles, particularly after seeing the BTS of HBO logo and many stop motion films.
