Digital Forrest
There were a lot more special effects in Forrest Gump than you might think…
If there's even a little film buff in you, then you've definitely seen the movie Forrest Gump. The film is set in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and the main character unwittingly participates in a wide variety of important events in the USA at that time - from racism or segregation in schools, to the Vietnam War, the Watergate affair, the anti-war demonstrations in Washington in 1971 and a whole host of others, and Forrest also meets a bunch of famous people in his adventures, including three American presidents, John Lennon and anyone else.
In order for all these events to look authentic, director Robert Zemeckis of course resorted to special effects, of which there are many in the film. Many are visible at first glance, for example the meetings with Lennon and the presidents, and some are more "hidden", such as the audience in the stadium, demonstrators in Washington, helicopters in Vietnam and more, but considering that the film was shot in the early nineties, they are quite high quality. You can see how it was all done in the video below...
