Amazing Special Effects That Were Actually Made For Cheap

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

From One Dream To Another In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, there is a sequence where Jim Carrey's mind is rapidly deleting old memories even as he tries to recall them. The entire scene has characters and situations popping up all over the place with no rhyme or reason. To shoot the scene, instead of using green screen and editing, the director had all the actors run in and out of the camera's range for multiple scenes. This means Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet had to change their clothes and portray new emotions for each scene in rapid succession while running in and out of the camera's sight.
