I’m not even sure if this is SFX or editing but Jeremy’s presentation got me thinking of a scene in Inception. The scene where Leonardo Di Caprio’s character was explaining the architecture of the dream world to Ellen Page’s character. The editing/SFX had a particular effect on me when I first watched this in theatres.
Watching it for the first time I was awed in a way that I haven’t in a long time. The landscape being ‘folded’ on top of each other via the buildings, the infinite staircase and the bridge building scene amazed me on the scale that this movie had at its premise. That from one angle the staircase was infinite but from another the staircase was incomplete. The landscape was infinite but could also be literally right on top of you. The use of Ellen Page’s character’s imagination to create more features of the dream world I thought was amazing. The editing combined with the SFX in Inception is a great example to produce a sense of scale, imagination and epicness to the audience.
