To create the illusion that Xerxes was 7 to 9 feet tall, director Zack Snyder used forced-perspective filming and CGI. For example, in scenes where Xerxes stands behind King Leonidas, digital scaling made Santoro loom over Gerard Butler, even though they are nearly the same height in real life. Intensive Workout: Santoro committed to a strict physical training program to build the lean, muscular physique required for the role. The "God-King" Look: To achieve the reptile-like, unearthly appearance of the God-King, the crew gave him a completely hairless body, which required Santoro to endure agonizing waxing and shaving sessions. He also wore extensive body piercings and spent nearly four and a half hours each day in the makeup chair

A little bit of movie magic... but made with people. This clip comes from Japan's Kasou Taishou, the TV show where contestants use nothing but their bodies and a few simple props to turn everyday scenes into full-on mini spectacles. Here, they recreate a dramatic parachutist/air-rescue moment — but in the most charming, low-tech way possible. The blue-suited performers become the "invisible" wind, gravity, and rigging, lifting and guiding the red and yellow jumpers through falls, catches, and soft landings. It's all timing, teamwork, and imagination, stitched together so smoothly it feels weightless. Simple setup, big creativity, pure fun Credit: Skydiving 'Friendship in the Sky' from the 84th Kasou Taishou (Masquerade / All Japan Costume Grand Prix) on Nippon TV - performed by the Hokkaido team (2010).

The SSSP agrees to do this task, despite the utter illogic and danger of bringing a living Kaiju to a largely populated city. Before the Kaiju attacks them, Arashi tranquilizes the Kaiju with the UNG Dart, and the Patrol airlifts the Kaiju via nets with the Jet VTOLs. However, the Kaiju awakes an hour early due to atmospheric changes between the island and the mainland and struggles to the point where the VTOLS have to release the nets, thus causing the Kaiju to fall two kilometers to the ground.

In the 1969 spider man, Glut wore a homemade suit heavily inspired by the original comic art of Steve Ditko. To make Spider-Man climb walls, Glut turned his camera sideways while crawling on a flat surface. For the web-swinging sequences, he utilized a vintage Captain Action toy figure via stop-motion animation. Instead of standard villains, Spider-Man fights an original bad guy named Dr. Lightning (played by Bob Rosen) to rescue his daughter. This was Glut's final fan film. He later became a professional writer, creating the novelization for The Empire Strikes Back and writing for classic 1980s cartoons like Transformers.
