Long before CGI, cinema already knew how to create impossible worlds. This episode explores the birth of special effects, from Georges Méliès’s camera tricks to miniatures, matte paintings, double exposures, and stop-motion animation that transformed the screen. From Le Voyage dans la Lune to King Kong, the story reveals how magicians, technicians, painters, sculptors, and animators made the impossible visible. A story about the moment cinema stopped simply recording the world and began inventing it.
