Скачать или смотреть How Mario Bava Pulled Off This Iconic Transition 🎞️

In Shock 1977 director Mario Bava created a terrifying transformation without spending a cent on special effects. As young Marco runs toward his mother he instantly morphs into his deceased father. This wasnt done with computers but through a perfectly timed handoff between two actors.

The trick works like a high stakes relay race. Bava used a small double to start the run. As the double passes behind a pillar or out of the tight camera frame for a fraction of a second he stops and the adult actor instantly leaps into his place.

Because the movement is continuous and the outfits match your brain fills in the gaps and assumes it is the same person. It is a simple optical illusion that relies on speed and rhythm rather than technology to create a seamless supernatural moment.
