10 CGI Movie Moments NOBODY Noticed
8. The Glass Slipper Scene - Cinderella
There's no more iconic image in the Cinderella story than Cinders finally putting on the precious glass slipper and getting her happy ending. And in theory, it doesn't really seem like a moment that would need a ton of CGI.
But for Kenneth Branagh's 2015 adaptation, the decision was made to go the digital route anyway.
According to star Lily James, this was because the fancy prop Swarovski glass slipper wasn't actually designed to be worn by anyone, and so the money shot of her foot going into the slipper was achieved through CGI fakery instead.
Oh, and the foot that goes into the slipper? It didn't belong to Lily James either, who herself believes that she has "big, ugly feet," and so had a foot double swing by for any close-up shots of her feet.
And yet, none of this ended up undermining the climactic moment, so it can be said that everything worked out just fine.
