Visual effects pioneer Colin Chilvers, Oscar winner for making Superman fly, dies at 79, leaving an indelible mark on Hollywood's golden age of blockbusters.
beat sheet
  • Chilvers' nephew Chris Corbould, a VFX veteran for films like Inception and No Time to Die, credits Chilvers for inspiring his own career in special effects at age 16 on the set of Tommy.
  • Chilvers used simple piano wire to create the gravity-defying lean for Michael Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal' music video, proving that sometimes the best tricks aren't the newest but the tried and true.
