Throwback Friday: Various VFX Used in the Titanic

With such advance VFX used in most of the movies today, why not move away from all these technology and look back and how simple VFX was back in the days of Titanic?

To me, i still feel that Titanic is one of the most romantic and dramatic movies of all time.. I don't even think other love movies come close to this. But aside from the whole mushy story and whatnot, i was curious the other day and decided to search up some of the VFX breakdowns of how they made the compositing and different layers for each scene.

For let's say, the Ice-Berg, i know that we've probably already seen this sometime ago but i still find it amazing how they do it :)

Back in those days, they couldn't really afford to have everything CGI'd so here's how they build kinda like a completed set for  the Titanic. I bet it took them months to create it. Insane!

Now i find this video really interesting. In the movie they only showed us how the titanic sank. But they didn't really specify how it went down all the way to the bottom and how it impacts the sea bed and all that. Just look at that boom!

Overall even though the Visual Effects weren't great at that time, James Cameron still managed to cover all of that up with the amazing story line and how he created the journey of Rose and Jack. It's just so amazing how with such little visual effects at that time, they were still able to pull off very intensive scenes that captivates you even up til now. I'm still very impressed :)
