| My purpose is to show 
      particular topics, not always properly seen on the web. And I think 
      special effects are one of those topics. How many times did you wonder how was it possible to obtain a not-existing reality on the screen? And how many people know how special effects worked before the landmark movie "Star Wars"? I don't know how many sites talk about special effects and people who made them possible. Anyway, I will try. Like usual, I really don't pretend to tell or know everything. I only will show the most famous techincians with their techniques | 
       | 
| and filmography. And if there will be anyone able to say more or to do better, that'll be very well: it will mean I have stimulated an interest. GEORGE MELIES WILLIS O'BRIEN HERMANN OBERTH GEORGE PAL |  |
