Interior train scenes were shot inside the Budapest Train Museum. Finally, a green screen studio was used for scenes in which characters jump and run on the train roofs.
The music, an essential part of the experience, was composed by the British artist Max Richter, who managed to send shivers down the audience's spine until the protagonists can finally celebrate their love in the modern era.
Unraveling Visual Effects
Invisible Effects vs. Visible Effects: VFX can be divided into two intriguing categories. Invisible effects work behind the scenes to create such convincing illusions that you don't even realize they're there. On the other hand, visible effects are the spark that brings visual magic to the big screen, from transforming cars to fantasy characters.
Secrets of Visual Effects Creation: The magic begins in pre-production, where plans for camera setups and lighting configurations are drawn. Often, cameras capture empty settings that come to life with the help of digital technology in post-production. Meticulous planning in the pre-production phase is crucial for achieving stunning visual effects.

The Economic Impact of VFX: Digital visual effects not only expand creative possibilities but also offer economic advantages. Saving costs by digitally creating entire medieval cities or complex structures has revolutionized the film industry.
Distinguishing Special Effects from Visual Effects: Special effects have their place in shooting at real locations, where explosions and special setups are created. In contrast, visual effects emerge from digital sources, added in post-production to take imagination to the next level.
