The 6 films and feature films that made a total change to cinema using technology

Films and technology have been connected since 1895, when the Lumière brothers presented the first film in story format.

Cinema and technology have passed different stages: silence, sound, color and super products. It's all thanks to the development of technology and the opening of society to new expressions and creations. Cinema will always have an important place in culture, because since the dawn of time humanity has been fascinated by telling and listening to stories.

But all this ingenuity would fall into a plane without a parachute without the necessary presence of technology, the second great propeller of the Seventh Art. For this reason, Infobae brings 6 films and feature films whose technological advances have completely changed the seventh art.

Are the horse's four legs in the air while the animal gallops? The first was a simple question, which eventually became a photographic experience framed by moving photography, which is at the heart of cinema as it is known today.

Created by Eadweard Muybridge, “Sallie Gardner at a Gallop” is composed of a series of photos of a galloping horse, then processed in batches at 24 fps with a zoopraxiscope, also designed by Muybridge himself.

Talking about Georges Méliès is talking about a true revolutionary of the seventh art, not only because of this jewel entitled 'Voyage dans la Lune' but also because of the rich and fascinating footage of his guide.

The work of the legendary French filmmaker turned into very creative innovations, with the use and improvement of surprising techniques and special effects such as stop motion or double exposure such as logistics, as Méliès is credited with building the world's first film studio.

It is said that in order to avoid the harsh shadows cast by sunlight, the filmmaker created a series of paper blinds that acted as a diffuser.

The relationship between film and color is almost the environment. There are many precedents of the most diverse experiences since the first decade of the 20th century and many features of the film of colors to 1935, when the Vanity Fair was created.

This film by Roueben Mamoulian is shot for the first time using the Tech-Strip TechColor technique, who captured the image in three different films, one for each main color at the same time.

Animatronic gave unforgettable images and creatures, the sculpture 'Shark' in E.T., through Joe Dante's Greelin or the stunning dinosaur of 'Jurassic Park'.

But before all these examples, 'Mary Poppins' introduced us to the first historical animation: the favorite little bird comes with the babysitter playing for Julie Andrew while singing 'Spoons of Multiple Sugars'.

Despite the existence of another stabilization system and occasional inventions to achieve, before the advent of stabilization, the only way to move the camera in a studio was to be attached to the inflexible dolly, along with the skill of the operators.

But in 1975, Garrett Brown made a new foray into cinematic narration with his steadicam, first used in the 1976 feature film 'This Is My Land', in a sequence shot that has been seen above these lines, directed by Brown himself and in which the camera descends from a crane to follow one of the characters in the film for a few minutes.

After marveling half the world with short films such as 'Luxo Jr. ', 'Tin Toy' or 'Knick Knack', in 1995 the animation studio Pixar produced the first feature CGI (technique in which 3D graphics are used to simulate objects with different forms, textures and movements) of history.

'Toy Story' was directed by John Lasseter, for years he used 300 CPUs to render the entire film and in addition to demonstrating excellent storytelling, he gave the first realistic streets thanks to the computer.
