Iron Man 3 Visual Effects

He flipped himself over….. RDJ is a stunt man!

One of the things that Hollywood seems incapable of appreciating is that actors in movies with special effects have to either 1. act to nothing because literally nothing is there, 2. react and pretend something is happening because again, nothing is happening, and 3. interact with characters that will later be put into the scene with special effects. 

This example is just one of many. Think about what you’ve seen, not only in the past decade or so of CGI, but before then when Star Wars (the originals) revolutionized the whole of sci-fi fantasy films. Hollywood rolls its eyes, reaps the benefits with the ‘popcorn movies’ but rarely (if ever) rewards them. The Return of the King was a fluke that probably will never be repeated. It’s one reason I will always ALWAYS talk about the acting skills of those in these films (and the directing prowess), because it isn’t easy. At all.

So thank you to all the actors, directors, production teams, special effects teams, etc. You made it possible and I, for one, am grateful.
