No Budget Special FX

This video is for all those who wish to include special effects in their movies, but don’t have expensive equipment, large budgets, or previous experience. Using only a basic camcorder and such everyday materials as sand, water, card and glass, the producers achieve a wide variety of effects such as weather conditions, explosions, volcanic eruptions, miniatures, special make-up, poltergeist activity and much more. Each effect is prepared and filmed in front of the camera to enable you to follow each step of the process through to the finished result. No artistic or special creative flair is required, so that the absolute beginner can produce very worthwhile effects. The Spence Brothers have well over 40 years of experience in this type of work and are now making this know-how available to others. This programme is a must for anyone who wants to enhance their movie-making but whose ambitions are restricted by a lack of budget.

Return to Jurassic Park

A multi-part documentary about the making of the Jurassic Park trilogy. Each part walks through the making of part of one of the films, including the hurricane during the shooting of the first film, and how advances in CGI for Jurassic Park helped change the world of special effects forever. All interviews for these retrospective documentaries come with comments from Spielberg, Johnston, Neill, Dern, Goldblum, the effects crews, the child actors, and Peter Stormare. This documentary is broken into six parts: Dawn of a New Era (25 min), Making Prehistory (20 min), The Next Step in Evolution (15 min), Finding the Lost World (28 min), Something Survived (16 min), and The Third Adventure (25 min).

Game of Thrones: The Last Watch

For a year, acclaimed British filmmaker Jeanie Finlay was embedded on the set of the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones,” chronicling the creation of the show’s most ambitious and complicated season. Debuting one week after the series 8 finale, GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH delves deep into the mud and blood to reveal the tears and triumphs involved in the challenge of bringing the fantasy world of Westeros to life in the very real studios, fields and car-parks of Northern Ireland. Made with unprecedented access, GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH is an up-close and personal portrait from the trenches of production, following the crew and the cast as they contend with extreme weather, punishing deadlines and an ever-excited fandom hungry for spoilers. Much more than a “making of” documentary, this is a funny, heartbreaking story, told with wit and intimacy, about the bittersweet pleasures of what it means to create a world – and then have to say goodbye to it.
