43 Iconic Cultural and Historical Moments Seen From a Different Angle

Do you remember the awe you felt the first time you watched Ghostbusters and saw the enormous Marshmallow Man rampaging through New York City? It was pretty impressive, considering it was the early 80s. Did you ever wonder how the filmmakers pulled that off? He almost looks like perhaps he was one of those giant Thanksgiving Day parade balloons, but that wasn’t the case. 

Instead of being several stories tall, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was, in reality, the size of a human. They made him appear larger-than-life by placing him on a small-scale recreation of Manhattan. It’s all about perspective and tricks of the eye. Creating such a detailed landscape must have taken much time and work.
