might not realize just how much of the experience is faked, or modified. With that in mind,

we're giving another dose of CGI trivia in the latest edition of Screen Rant's Know Your

Movies: 20 Movies Scenes Before and After CGI.

The Revenant The scene in which Leonardo DiCaprio's character

is attacked by a bear made headlines fast, but the whole event seems a lot less frightening

when you get a look at who played the bear: along with the blue bodysuit and bear helmet

to complete the look.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens George Lucas and his team practically invented

CGI with the original Star Wars, and there's no better evidence of how far it's come than

the newest Episode, relying on a massive amount of green screened action in almost every scene.

Gravity Everyone knew that it couldn't have been filmed

in space, but few would realize that almost all of Gravity was CGI - the stars only had

partial suits and a few white boxes to work with for most of the production.

The Hobbit Peter Jackson relied on forced perspective

and camera tricks for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but for The Hobbit, it was just green

screen used to put full-sized humans beside half-pint Hobbits and dwarves.

Man of Steel The physics-bending technology of the planet

Krypton was obviously the work of CG, but so was the armor worn by General Zod - a full

size suit was never even constructed.

Inception Audiences had enough trouble wrapping their

brains around dream-stealing, so they never stopped to wonder how the actors navigated

the changing space - old fashioned tricks and CG were the real answer.

Iron Man Fas might dream of owning an Iron Man suit

for themselves, but so does Robert Downey, Jr. - for most of the armored action, it's

red pyjamas and some mocap sensors, which take a little bit out of the cool factor.

Life of Pi The stunning visuals made this adaptation

unforgettable - that, and the tiger sharing a single boat with the movie's hero. Even

more impressive since it was filmed in a pool with only a stuffed blue bag playing a Bengal

tiger.

Deadpool Slicing off limbs and a man made of metal

are only possible through CG, but even Deadpool's more lighthearted antics were obviously a

blast on the set - even if they lacked the explosions and flight.

Guardians of the Galaxy Although the walking tree, Groot, was animated

from scratch, the furriest Guardian was filmed on set, played by Sean Gunn. Which casts the

movie's sweeter moments in a whole new light.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Quicksilver's superspeed sequence was the

standout moment of this time-bending adventure, but the reality was were very different. It

looked great on film, which probably made the days spent blasting the actor with an

air cannon in front of green screen seem worth it in the end.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant turtle martial artists could never

exist in the real world, but the animators relied on the actor's real performances and

personalities, using their looks and mannerisms to make each turtle unique.

Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow battled the supernatural in several

forms, but Davy Jones takes the cake. But he and his crew are a lot less intimidating

in their grey bodysuits and smudged make-up.

Planet of the Apes Andy Serkis stole the show with help from

computer animators as the ape leader Caesar, along with an entire cast of human performers

supplying the foundation for the CG artists - no matter how different the species might

be.

Twilight Not every special effect in the Twlight series

was successful, but the massive werewolves were pretty impressive. Until you realize

that Taylor Lautner played his wolf form on set, letting his co-star lovingly stroke his

very-human head. Good luck forgetting that.

I, Robot It's easy to overlook the people who create

CG characters - or even the people who play them. Will Smith took the spotlight of I, Robot,

but audiences might not even realize that Firefly alum Alan Tudyk played the star robot,

Sonny, on set every day.

The Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader slicing off Luke Skywalker's hand

before revealing he's the boy's father is one of cinema's greatest moments, but when

you see the mattresses laid out underneath the set, it starts to seem a bit less devastating.

Mad Max: Fury Road George Miller may have delivered the most

gritty, practical action movie in years, but fans never realized that most of the actual

setting was a CG creation. Forget the fact that even the stunts were mostly pulled off

when the vehicles weren't moving.

Avatar Everything aside from the actors was make

believe in James Cameron's 3D game-changer, but the motion capture footage reveals just

how much the Na'vi cast gave the animators to work with - with Zoe Saldana the best among

them.

Captain America It's still staggering to see how well the

effects team made star Chris Evans seem sickly small before his super-soldier experiment.

Filming Evans in each scene, then his small-scale double Leander Deeny, eventually merging the

two together. The process is simple enough, but even today, it's hard to believe they

pulled it off so perfectly.
