The Power Of VFX In Before-And-After Shots Of Your Favorite Movies And TV Series

Movie and TV producers use visual effects (VFX) to create movie magic. The following photos reveal how much some of the favorite movies and shows rely heavily on VFX magic. Green screens don’t have to always be green, they can also be blue. Technically, they can be of any color so long as none of the actors is wearing this color. During the recording of the scenes, the producers digitally select the green-screen color and make it transparent using special software. If any of the actors was wearing the color selected, they would appear to have holes punched through them!

Mind-bending Optical Illusion Suspends This Historical Building In Mid-Air

On his latest project, Alex Chinneck, a British artist, has created what looks like a floating building. The project is titled "Take My Lightning But Don’t Steal My Thunder".  A section of the convent Garden Market Building (which is 184 year old) looks like it’s been cut horizontally and is levitating at more than 10 feet over its detached half.

The stunning optical illusion appears to make the building hover in mid air. A section of the building looks like it has broken free from the foundation and is floating high above those who visit the site. The architecture, a complicated technical wizardry piece, took 3 months to create. Alex used heavy counterweight that was strong enough to support the top section of the building.

You May Forever Doubt Your Ears After This Audio Illusion

You may never ever believe anything you hear again! This audio will make you have trust issues with your ears, henceforth.

This audio proves that your ears can be manipulated and tricked easily just like all other senses. Our brains have an uncanny ability to process incomprehensible information using new information.

In this experiment, audio filters are used to turn a spoken sentence into complete gibberish. That’s what your brain registers on hearing the audio for the first time. After you listen to the original unprocessed version, the brain suddenly makes sense of the gibberish version.


This is almost similar to what happens with optical illusions. Your eyes will see only a specific image until all other details are revealed. The brain applies this same processing to things you hear but you may not have realized this until now.

Can Anyone Ever Imagine The Movement Of A Vehicle Up A Steep Mountain, With Its Ignition Off? Welcome To Magnetic Hill Leh-Ladakh

Ladakh has two districts, Leh and Kargil. It’s a part of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. A Magnetic Hill can be found about 30 km away from Leh town. While at the magnetic hill, you see motor vehicles, moving upwards at a 20 km/ hour speed while the engines are off.

A billboard has been put up by the local administration to help tourists’ identify the Magnetic Hill. It describes the phenomenon clearly so that you get to enjoy the experience first hand when you reach the hill. It advises you to place your vehicle at a certain spot on the road while the engines are off. You can then notice as the vehicle moves up the hill at a speed of about 20 km/ hour.

The magnetic powers of the hill do not only affect vehicles, they also affect aircrafts and helicopters. The Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel and locals claim that aircrafts and helicopters passing through this area, have to increase flying speed to avoid the hill’s magnetic impact. When the aircraft tries to fly within the magnetic hill radius, it starts to jerk. Due to this, the Indian Force Pilots try to steer as far way from the magnetic hill as possible.

Explanation of the mystery
The layout of the land surrounding the magnetic hill produces an optical illusion that makes a very slight downhill slope appear to be an uphill slope. This is why, when a car is left with the gears switched off, it appears to be rolling uphill. A variety of such type of hills can be found in different locations around the world.

Though tour guides may try to convince you that the phenomenon is due to supernatural or natural forces, the slope of gravity is an optical illusion. An important factor that contributes to the illusion is a horizon that is mostly or completely obstructed. It’s difficult to judge the slope of a surface if no horizon is available since there will be no reliable reference. This illusion can be compared to the AMES room that makes balls appear to be rolling against gravity.

This illusion mostly occurs on stretches of road on hilly areas that have the horizon level obscured. Objects that provide visual clues like walls and trees on the true vertical usually appear to lean slightly. As a result, an optical illusion is created that makes objects appear to be rolling uphill, rivers to seem like they are flowing against gravity and a slight downhill look like an uphill slope.
Our inner ears' balance mechanism can also be used to sense which way is up. A horizon that is not level or that can’t be seen can however cause one to be fooled by objects we expect to be vertical but are in reality not. Another reason may be false perspective where objects that are far away appear to be larger or smaller than they really are.
