After all, the same year that &#8220;The Thing&#8221; was released, &#8220;Tron&#8221; took the world by storm with its then-complex computerized graphics. But &#8220;The Thing&#8221; is known as a practical effects masterpiece, not a digital one, and that old-school movie magic actually extends to the creation of the title sequence.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/24SFN5U32ms\">the 1982 featurette<\/a> &#8220;The Making of The Thing,&#8221; visual effects designer Peter Kuran explains the technical handiwork that went into making that tear-a-hole-in-the-world title. As it turns out, it involved a fish tank, a trash bag, and a match. &#8220;We had a fish tank that was about four feet wide by two feet high,&#8221; Kuran explains, &#8220;And I put smoke in the fish tank, and then on the back of the fish tank I put the title, &#8220;The Thing,&#8221; I drew it on an animation cell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The designer, who has also worked on projects like &#8220;RoboCop&#8221; and &#8220;Beetlejuice,&#8221; explained that he put &#8220;a piece of garbage bag plastic&#8221; behind the animation cel, which was attached to its frame and stretched across. Behind that, he positioned a light in the direction of the letters. So basically, picture a fish tank full of smoke with a celluloid-like title drawing attached to the back, and a black trash bag attached to that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Kuran continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When I photographed it, I hit the garbage bag plastic with a little flame, you know, like a match. I would just light it around the garbage bag plastic, and then the garbage bag plastic would open up and let the light come through the letters. And that&#8217;s how the letters look like they form, and you know, and burn on with the rays and everything.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
