You probably already know that many movies use visual effects to enhance (or sometimes ruin) our cinematic experience. Still, you probably didn’t realize how often – and to what extent – such effects are used in the modern-day film industry.
Sure we know that the tiger in Life of Pi wasn’t real (we all know that, right?). Nor was most of what we saw in The Avengers. Oh, and Alice in Wonderland. That wasn’t real, either. Sorry. But you might be surprised to learn that other movies have also been digitally manipulated in ways you might not expect.
Please look at the revealing before-and-after pictures we’ve compiled for you below to see what we mean. You’ll never look at movies in the same way again. (H/T)

![K-House In #Konin, Poland, By @stoprocent_architekci [IG]
Stoprocent Architekci: House K is one of our projects that had waited the longest for its construction. We started working on it in 2012, yet the house has just been finished in 2022.
In the meantime, the project and the construction have encountered some adventures. The original concept assumed that the building would be part of a larger complex, which was intended to be a multigenerational family residence.

![The Crypt Of San Magno, Anagni, Italy. 🇮🇹
An extraordinary example of Italian medieval religious art lies hidden in the historic town of Anagni, located about an hour southeast of Rome. Also known as the City of Popes (four Popes hailed from the town), Anagni is crowned by its beauty. Romanesque cathedral dating back to the turn of the 11th and 12th centuries CE.
Under the cathedral floor, the magnificent crypt of Saint Magnus provides an extraordinary example of 13th-century medieval religious art with its different cycles and representations, decorating a space that measures over 500 square meters.
Three craftsmen known as the “masters of Anagni” are believed to have been responsible for the different cycles, which represent the story of man’s salvation from creation to the end of time, with apocalyptic overtones, and several walls are adorned with stories of local saints and martyrs.
