Amazing Special Effects That Were Actually Made For Cheap
Star Trek
Mirrors For Space Jump
In J.J. Abrams's Star Trek film, they had a scene showing Kirk and his team dropping to a planet from orbit in an insane jump. Hanging the actors upside down from wires for the hours it would take to film the scene was not an option. That was when they hit upon a method that was as simple as it was ingenious.
They simply had Chris Pine and the other actors stand on top of mirrors under the open sky to make it seem they were dropping from the heavens. Then they blasted fans into the actor's faces to give them the windswept look. Finally, they filmed the whole thing from a downward angle to complete the 'falling from orbit' look. It all looked so convincing the team barely had to make any changes in post-production.
