With the advent of computer graphics, more and more directors are using chromakey for filming films - a green screen, which is replaced with the desired background during editing.
But before, creating sets for a film was a much more labor-intensive and time-consuming process. To do this, they hired special set designers who built miniatures of what would appear in the frame. Let's look at their creations together!
