Artice Response2

Anythin from visual effects to illusions formed by forced perspective or other methods used to deceive the eye of the audience  can be used in a powerful way if executed correctly in a low budget film. For the sake of reducing production costs uses of small scale models of generally large objects can be a huge money saver. Personally i have always thought the use of replicas or models was such an ingenious tactic in movie making! Location requirements may sometimes benefit your film greater than some may assume.
