This comes from the folks over at Industrial Light and Magic. It’s a short peek inside the visual effects work done on 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The CGI is amazing.
This short video represents just a small amount of the nearly 900 visual effects shots ILM contributed to the film. It took a crew of over 300 people.
If you like his work, you can head on over to Patreon and support Jamie Benning. He’s a documentary film maker and this short clip is an interview with Kevin Pike, who worked not only on Back to the Future, but also on Return of the Jedi.
It’s a fascinating clip and a great look behind the scenes, so it is certainly worth supporting Jamie so he can continue making documentaries. In this clip, Kevin Pike talks about his work on the Location Special Effects on Return of the Jedi.
Ghostbusters was a pretty groundbreaking movie, considering the fact that it was a comedy. Years later we still can’t get enough of it. I don’t hold out much hope that the new rebooted movie will be anywhere nearly as good as the original, but that’s okay, because we have cool movies like this stop-motion animation from Bodega Studios.
It features only a single Ghostbuster. Venkman. Uh, make that Venkmallow. Slimer also makes an appearance and you’ll never guess who is playing him. This short is awesome, but the problem is, now that I’ve seen it, I want more. When can I see more marshmallow adventures?

It’s the 30th anniversary of David Lynch’s Dune, so now is a good time to take a look at this rare documentary. Back in 1983 this short film was shown on the convention circuit to get people all hyped up for the movie’s release in 1984. It is titled Destination Dune and if you like the movie you’ll want to spare 6-minutes to check it out.
It shows some scenes being rehearsed, a look at the prop and model shop, David Lynch discussing designs with special effects coordinator Carlo Rambaldi and more. Even Frank Herbert himself. They really packed in a lot in this short documentary, which was included in the 2004 UK DVD release of Dune. It’s a rare treat for fans.
