​​In order to simulate the feeling of water impacting on the bridge, the Hollywood team specially produced a model that simulates the Golden Gate Bridge. The filming effect was observed by splashing water in a bucket... Many of the magnificent scenes are actually shot in real scenes (true conscience). But the dragons in the play can only be accomplished by special effects. And the level of care in this drama, in the seventh season of the battle scene, the flames of the dragon on the ground and the crowd were all shot in real scene, and only the dragon used special effects shots.

These special effects shots, in addition to the dragon itself needs very delicate modeling, the actors also have to sit on a special machine, swaying constantly, pretending that they are operating the dragon high in the sky.

In the movie "Spider-Man Returns", most of the actions of Spider-Man such as fighting and jumping are done by the actors themselves. For many large-scale scenes, such as fighting on a ship, the production team built a large ship for this purpose. The scene of climbing the Washington Monument is also a model of a small monument (because no one is allowed to climb the real monument). This is replaced by a domestic team.

In the epic disaster film "2012", the post team produced more than 500 special effects pictures. According to the special effects artist Stephen of the film, the special effects involved in this film are all too complicated. They found 250 highly equipped computers, and they were able to complete them on time at the same time. Most of the special effects shots in "2012" are multi-layered, which means that the special effects artists will divide the objects in a frame into several groups to make them, and then superimpose them together. In this way, it becomes a scene that is extremely real and highly detailed in the eyes of the audience.
