My purpose is to show particular topics, not always properly seen on the web. And I think special effects are one of those topics.
How many times did you wonder how was it possible to obtain a not-existing reality on the screen?
And how many people know how special effects worked before the landmark movie "Star Wars"?
I don't know how many sites talk about special effects and people who made them possible. Anyway, I will try.
Like usual, I really don't pretend to tell or know everything.
I only will show the most famous techincians with their techniques

and filmography.
And if there will be anyone able to say more or to do better, that'll be very well: it will mean I have stimulated an interest.
