With some productions you get the feeling you’re working on something special because of the writing or a particular piece of acting, and sometimes it’s because you’re using new technology to create cinematic visions never seen before. In 2025 F1 used new camera tech to give you the feeling of being in the vehicles racing around at top speeds, sometimes while fireworks are exploding overhead. And in 2013, Alfonso Cuarón and his trusted crew made you believe he shot a film in outer space with two of the biggest movie stars of the time. Gravity was a 100 million dollar experiment that went through over four years of starts and stops. Cuarón wasn’t making a deep story, he was building a 90-minute ride, shot in 3D and meant for the most immersive screens possible. Like James Cameron, he wasn’t going to release the film until it looked 100% convincing. He succeeded to a box office of over $700 million and SEVEN Academy Awards: Direction, Cinematography, Editing, Score, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing and Visual Effects.
