For Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) they trained actual squirrels for months to get them to sort the nuts and the attack scene. The double had to wear a mask to protect face from their sharp claws https://t.co/CiRbW9s1Lq pic.twitter.com/sFbhOdcY8I

For the famous Star Wars (IV-V-VI) opening crawl they used a camera moving along a physical model slightly tilted. It was difficult and time-consuming to get a smooth scrolling effect, and they needed one for each language (German, French, Spanish etc). pic.twitter.com/Vd6O2BSqsv

In The Lord of the Rings (2001), Hobbits being smaller was achieved via practical effects. For example the scene where Frodo and Gandalf are on the cart sitting side by side, to simulate it cart was built in a way that Frodo was further from the camera, so he looks smaller. pic.twitter.com/MobeuFHnZ2

Tron (1982) was shot in black and white, sets were made of black fabric with white duct-tape for markers, the glow was later hand-painted onto every frame, imagine the work!! In this video we can see a test using a white suit with black markers for the glows pic.twitter.com/fl9U87bsBu

The Raid 2 (2014) had a 1 take scene where camera follows a car, enters, and shows driver. This was accomplished by having a camera man disguised as a car seat in the back & another one strapped on the side of car, they had to manually hand over the camera. pic.twitter.com/JINZvoTydl
