I thought it would be interesting to compare the 2 films that have been made of the classic story 'Charlie and the chocolate factory' to see how much technology and techniques have changed in the last 30 years............
Both of these films were cutting edge at the time that they were released. There are a lot of special effects used in the original version which now look really old and it's quite easy to see how they are done.
The actual chocolate factory is created through set building and modelling in the original, whereas now it is virtually all done using CGI. Similarly a lot of the characters in the original are created through use of costume whereas now CGI effects are used to distort the actors or even create the characters completely.
When I watched this breakdown of how the 2005 remake was made I was most surprised by the realisation that the Oompa Loompas were created entirely through CGI, as was the chocolate fountain, most of the scenery, and even the tropical jungle. It made me realise what a huge part computers now play in modern film-making. I was impressed by the possibilities of the modern effects but felt that the old one probably would have been more fun to make!
Charlie and the chocolate factory; the original,1971

I thought up the possibility of comparing these different versions of Charlie and the Choc Factory...well done me!!!
