Inception still holds a piece of everyone’s minds 14 years later. The spoofs, memes, and references are a testament to the importance of an interesting plot and *good* special effects. Even if the plot was not your cup of tea, the effects kept you tuned in. It didn’t feel like the effects used in some of the blockbusters of the same year and that’s part of what made it special. SyFy shares the tricks combined to make Inception.
Despite the fact that the illusion was accomplished via optical trickery rather than with CG fabrication, Franklin and Pfister relied on contemporary VFX pre-visualization as a way to calculate where the camera needed to be placed and how it would move. “We were able to make computer models of all of this and work out exactly the dimensions of the steps that have to be built and where the camera has to be in three-dimensional space to be able to film it,” Franklin says.
