Le Voyage dans la Lune [1903]

The basis of the Tonight Tonight video.

I think Stargate Studios fools me on a more regular basis than any other studio - didn't know they were involved with so many shows. I was really surprised to see Ugly Betty in there, but seeing as how the studio is in Pasadena, CA I guess I shouldn't be.

The Royal Wedding one is kind of interesting, I thought. Some guy has taken the film as it was originally shown with the camera bolted down (on the left), and digitally scanned it into the image on the right, placing it in a photographic mock up of the set and virtually unbolted the camera, and as Astaire dances around, the whole thing is turned.

And yeah. I had no idea most of those Stargate shots were even visual effects in the first place, that's how insidious they are.
