    The screen rag-trade goes on. "Never mind the quality, just feel the width!"

    At the 10:12 mark of this video, was that a real world shot or special effects for that time period?

    Great post man....thanks for sharing!

    It's an FX shot - the stairs and the landing are a real set, everything else is a matte painting shot on glass and comped optically. Same technology as Star Wars, only ILM figured out a better way of doing everything. The tech has been around since 1917.
