How Crowd Scenes Are Done In Some Movies
April 13, 2011 Whoever invented this is a genius. I think I'll invite a couple thousand of my most intimate friends over tonight for drinks and dinner. Conversation might be a little difficult, but the food & drink tab will be zero.
I’ve always wondered about scenes in films where large crowds are needed.. I’m pretty certain that many scenes in epics like The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur actually used thousands of extras.
Of course, there are alternatives to buying thousands extras or visual effects. Sometimes full-sized photos are used to fill crowds. If you want your crowd to be three-dimensional, you might consider going with The Inflatable Crowd Company, which does just what its name implies.
