Independence Day: Creating Reality

Documentary, Science Fiction, Action · 2000 FlikFlixPick

A look into the making of the state of the art special effects for the film Independence Day (1996). This crew spent a long time creating these 400 plus effects shots, and ended up winning an Academy Award for their work. Very interesting to see how hard these people worked in order to make the battles etc. seem so realistic.

Starring: Roland Emmerich, Dean Devlin, Patrick Tatopoulos, Michael R. Joyce
