Effects Make Movies Special

Japan's movie industry has earned a reputation for special effects over the years. Godzilla and Gamera, for example, loomed large over the cinematic landscape because they were filmed next to precision miniatures of cities, mountains, and oceans. Nowadays, however, directors often opt for computer graphics. To make sure the long-established approach is not forgotten, a special effects exhibition is giving the public another look at what's possible. Toshio Miike has been involved with movie magic for 40 years. He says he hopes the show will expose visitors to the breadth and depth of what Japanese filmmakers have accomplished in making movies special.
