A rebooted version of the Special Effects Stage show reopening at Universal Studios Hollywood in June will pit classic movie-making techniques against cutting-edge digital technology, theme park officials said.
The 22-minute show will be co-hosted by a conservative, middle-aged tech guru and a fun-loving and quick-witted 20-something hipster who will demonstrate filmmaking special effects both old (rear-screen projection, forced perspective and matte imagery) and new (CGI, green screen, stop motion, motion capture and 3-D).
The television and movie theme park is moving the long-running special-effects show from a lower level sound stage (near the now-shuttered Backdraft attraction) to an upper-level theater to make room for the much-anticipated Transformers ride, scheduled to open in 2012.
Unlike the previous behind-the-scenes special-effects show, which shuttled audience members through three sets, the new show will take place in a single auditorium.
