10 Genius Ways Movies Fixed Their Own Mistakes
Fix it in post!
Filmmaking sure isn't easy at the best and most fortuitous of times, but when you're dealing with $200 million tentpoles that involve literally dozens of departments and hundreds of crafts-folk that all need to be coordinated, it's inevitable that mistakes will be made.
But a strong sign of a talented filmmaker is one who can think on their feet and pivot to fix a nagging issue, be it during shooting or once the film enters post-production.
That's certainly the case with these 10 movies, all of which encountered technical and logistical hurdles while shooting major sequences, and had to figure out a clever way to make the best of it.
