For a common movie-goer, a Hollywood blockbuster usually consists of just 2 hours of fascinating video footage that tells a story. At the same time, it’s a complicated and detail-heavy job for a production crew and requires many specialists, as well as a lot of time and money. Even a 5-second scene can take weeks of preparation.
