Well the longest best kept secret in film history is actually matte painting.
It was used in secret since the black and white era but it wasn't until 1980s that people outside of Hollywood knew about it. Even big names like James Cameron didn't know of existence early in his career.

Tom Cruise being gay. People think it but none of us are sure.

Patrick Stewart was a real person who died and was re-created with CGI for Star Trek: The Next Generation. Because CGI was not very good at the time, the creators made him bald.

Guys like Cruise, Bradley Cooper Will Smith are sexually fluid.

They have sham relationships to appear more natural but Hollywood can't market that non-sense to middle Americans.

>>85941944
all male actors are gay and all female actors are sex slaves for producers.

According to Corey Feldman, Corey Haim was molested on the set of Lucas by a very successful producer. Feldman also claims he was molested regularly and 'passed around'.

Could be bullshit, but might not.

He's an example to all of us.

It's not so much a secret, but how every film is carefully engineered to "lose" money. You'll notice at the start of a film, numerous companies appear as having made it. Each of those companies winds up at the end of production having made no profit on paper.

>>85945133
Probably cause you're new as fuck

>>85945489
But why?

>>85945576
Less taxes. If you ever find yourself negotiating a check from a studio company don't ask for a percentage of profit ask for a portion of the gross revenue.

>>85945489

That has nothing to do with how the film is made or the finished product though. It's called Hollywood Accounting and it's just legal loophole bullshit.

It's the reason Forrest Gump and LotR TECHNICALLY didn't break even (and the producers could fuck Gump's author and Peter Jackson out of their points)

You're confusing between backdrop painting and matte painting. Before the 1980s people thought it was an painted image on the background via blue screen, but the real secret was that matte painting was done on the foreground via a transparent layer.

>>85941944
>>85942573
This raises a good question. Many people are responding to this thread with things that would be embarrassing or hurt the prestige of film if they were open about it, but that's not all that will be secret in Hollywood. What *trade* secrets, like Matte Painting, are there? Are there still such things that are kept underwraps except for those who need to know, say, to prevent Bollywood or European production companies from being able to replicate the,?

Digital de-aging/facelifts seem to be the new Hollywood secret: http://www.vulture.com/2016/03/special-effects-c-v-r.html

My friend works in the biz and he actually told me about this a few years before the press got a hold of this. Of course, at the time, I didnt believe him.

B-list actor Jeffery tambor likes to dress up in women's clothing and likes to bite teenage Hollywood hopefuls. Blood is always drawn.

>*clears throat*
James Whale‘s adaptation of Frankenstein (1931) is probably the first American film to use the glass matte painting effect. A glass matte involves an artist painting a realistic background onto a sheet of glass, leaving a space blank where the action will take place. When re-photographed it can look flawless, depending on the talents involved. Whale’s primitive use of the matte in Frankenstein was later perfected and taken to new levels in Star Wars IV: A New Hope (1977).

http://horrornews.net/3603/vintage-screams-grand-illusions/

The development of matte painting is attributed to filmmaker Norman Dawn, who first used it in the 1907 film Missions of California. The technique was simple, but pulling it off required skill.

All this time and I always assumed it was backdrop paintings like they do on stage because that seems the obvious thing, until I saw some youtube video explaining how effects were achieved in old silent-era movies.

>implying people didn't see it on a format that kicked the shit out of 480p, 1080p and 4k

http://www.in70mm.com/news/2003/star_wars/openings/index.htm

What is 70mm film you may ask? 70mm is a film format with frames that are larger in size and wider in aspect ratio than the standard 35mm film. "From an audience standpoint, it's a much crisper, brighter, and ideally more uniform and stable image," said McLaren. Essentially, the difference between 35mm and 70mm is similar to the difference between DVD and Blu-ray, if switching from DVD to Blu-ray also made your television bigger.

The wider, sharper image allows viewers to see "details in these films that you have just never, ever seen before," as McLaren puts it. He also points out that most theaters project films at a resolution of about 2,000 pixels, which is comparable to Blu-ray. However, the restoration scan of the 70mm film resolution Lawrence of Arabia was scanned at about 8,000 pixels, "and the negative had even more information than that. There's just so much more going on in these 70mm prints than even on your Blu-ray."

There's a shot of Chris Evans in Civil War where only the bags under his eyes shift as a change in expression during a line, and I was thinking this dude was some kind of acting master who could isolate his facial muscle control like that, but it being digital seems more realistic now.

>>85950950
yes it is

>>85949881
James Cameron might known its a painting but what he didn't know is how they implemented it.
Just check out his earlier work like the first Terminator, he didn't use any matte painting. He obviously got hold of the secret once he got bigger Hollywood jobs.

You might have had a stroke if you can't control your facial muscles like that. If anything actors always oversell simply because retards won't pick up on it if they do subtle things like you usually do.

matte paintings were taught/used at usc film school in the 1960s per george lucas who was a student there
frankenstein used them way back in 1931... it was no secret how they were implemented... a bevy of films used them under a multitude of different producers and directors way before star wars and james cameron

It was once a 'Hollywood' secret technique. Don't you find it odd that all your examples are 'Hollywood' movies?

Find a pre-80s non-Hollywood movie that used matte painting and I'll rest my case.
