Bugün öğrendim ki: '71 filmi The Andromeda Strain'de, bir maymunun 'öldürüldüğü' sekansı filme almak için, içine karbon monoksitin pompalandığı ve maymunu boğulmaya zorlayan hava geçirmez bir set oluşturuldu. Ardından, bekleyen bir veteriner sete koştu ve oksijenle tedavi etti.

While later movies based on Michael Crichton's books would make extensive use of CGI, no such technology existed in 1971. _The Andromeda Strain_ was made the old-fashioned way: Out of real materials and no small amount of creative ingenuity. _The Andromeda Strain's_ special effects were masterminded by Douglas Trumbull, the visual wizard behind films like _[2001: A Space Odyssey](https://www.looper.com/137070/sci-fi-movies-people-still- dont- understand/)_ , _[Close Encounters of the Third Kind](https://www.looper.com/152930/how-they-really-pulled-off-these-classic- hollywood-special-effects/) _ , _[Blade Runner](https://www.looper.com/129947/movies-that-totally-ripped-off-blade-runner/)_ , and _[Tree of Life](https://www .looper.com/177196/the-most-baffling-movies-of-the-last-decade/)_.

At the time, the technology didn't exist to create such a visual. So how did the filmmakers achieve it? An image of each level of the lab was [projected](https://books.google.com/books?id=dShLHOHZJ0UC
