Can anyone suggest a film with groundbreaking special effects before CGI?
Am working on my dissertation proposal, it's on the influence of CGI on special effects %26amp; animation. Am seeking one particular film which broke the boundaries for special effects, but BEFORE computers.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.|||1932s King Kong.
Mary Poppins
Hal Wallace's From the Earth to the Moon.|||Check out Clash of the Titans. It's special effects were fantastic. Also, a little thing called KING KONG was fantastic, considering it came out in the 30s.|||The Hurricane With Jon Hall
It was done in the mid to late forty's
great special effects|||Jaws, Wallace and Gromit.

What was the name of the foreign film involving traveling circus with a whale?
It was black and white, long shot style screenplay. We watched it in a film class a while back, and I can't find the syllabus for the title for the life of me! I'm really trying to find this film again.|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werckmeister_Harmonies

Can I still take good quality black and white photos with just a normal compact film camera?
Equipped with black and white film and a normal compact 35mm film camera, am I able to take good quality black and white photos? Will it turn out okay? Or do I need a professional SLR camera? If the camera does not make a difference, can I have some tips on the lighting and environmental conditions that would help in taking good black and white photos.|||What are you taking a photo of? Do you want a lot of contrast (full on black to full on white) or less contrast (more shades of grey)?
For instance, if you're photographing a person and want some moody contrast, you would want harder, undiffused light. A bare light bulb, even a soft white bulb, will give you a small hard light and lead to hard shadow edges, dark shadows and hard light and highlights. A photo with a lot of contrast. If you're looking for something with smoother shadow edges and more grey as opposed to black and white then you want a large soft/diffused light source like a large window with indirect light coming through.
The same applies to a landscape or city scape. If you want high contrast take the photo on a sunny day. Want more grey, wait til it's cloudy. Look up filters for shooting black and white as well. Specifically yellow filters. They will help you "tune" your contrast.
The camera is just a tool. A nice one may make the job easier but a person that knows how to do the job can get it done with almost any tool.|||This depends on your ability as a photographer and your knowledge of your camera's limitations. If you can't take good photographs with a compact, you won't be able to with an slr.
As to your subordinate question: it's far too open and vague to answer in any meaningful way.

What college courses should I take if I want to study Film Production at university?
UK college courses. I'm thinking about doing something to do with film making as a career and I'm not sure what I would need to study for it.|||you will need a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film, and to get that you will Bachelor's degree programs in film include classes in film history, film development, screenwriting, acting and production. Many film studies programs offer directing concentrations, which help students develop skills such as casting, rehearsal procedures, text analysis, acting technique for film and camera application. Students also learn how to create and use storyboards, shooting scripts and brackets. Students are typically required to participate in a predetermined number of student films as part of their coursework. Most film schools strongly encourage internships within the film industry in order to develop technical skills, understand the ins-and-outs of film production and develop professional contacts.
or you can go further and get a Master of Fine Arts in Film, and you will need to have Master of Fine Arts in Film degree programs help filmmakers develop their own voices as directors. MFA in film programs emphasize theme development, advanced cinematography, film theory and history and film editing. Directing programs often focus on management skills because directors are responsible for overseeing large amounts of people across many different areas of film production. Most master's degree programs require the development of a thesis, typically in the form of a short film, as well as the development of a professional portfolio.
but mostly you need ambition, motivation, imagination and creative arts might help. good luck and you just really need to see the vision to succeed.

What is the best way to get a grounding of the film industry?
My sister in 20 and wants to get into the film industry with the intention of moving into the fx side of it, animation, 3D modeling, rendering etc. She has a university foundation course in mind,but i was apprehensive that there is other ways of entering into the industry. I, myself, being in the games industry as an animator know of several ways to gain a grounding knowledge of the industry without 2 year long courses? Do you have any ideas, or am I just being silly.|||(I am in the US)
Your sister could get into the business simply by meeting the right people who are willing to give her a go. If she is outgoing and knows how to network, knows how to meet people that is always helpful. Not sure if it would be a paying job, but it could be some sort of position where she could be learning about the whole process. She might also be able to get unpaid work on student or amateur productions, via something like Craig's List.
Now, the advantages of taking classes, is that she will be learning some of the basic skills. Plus, the schools have some connections with internships. Some companies only take on interns if they are in school--that way they can get away without paying, by simply saying it is an internship. That there is an exchange of value, class credit for her work.
(Has she looked into if FX houses are hiring now? With the economy, she should think about that too. It might be worth it to take 1-2 years to go to school, then when she is done, there might be more jobs out there. If they are hiring now, they might expect a lot from a new employee, that they have a lot of other skills too.)
Also, lately, it seems like many companies who hire interns really do expect them to have a set of basic skills already--know how to use software, know how to edit, photoshop, have sculpting, painting, framing experience, Which is all the opposite of what an internship is! The idea is that the intern actually learns something! In some states (I am in the US) that is actually against the law, but not really enforced.
Anyway, she needs to look up all the possible FX houses nearby, and start calling, or emailing resumes. If she doesn't have any software experience, then she might also just try to ask these companies for advice on what software she needs to learn. Of course, it changes quickly, and some FX houses create their own proprietary software. I am assuming that your sister already has basic drawing-photography-sculpting experience? If she doesn't then she should think about that too.
In the US with the bad economy, there could be lots of competition for positions, even internships. People might have the same basic art and software background, but they have other skills too, like production or finance even. Companies might see that as a plus, knowing that person could help out in the billing department a few times a month. Seriously.
