Mask is a popular movie based on the comic series of the same name. The movies plot is simple but still the movie along with it's special effects & the Cast made it a great to watch piece. Movies special effects starts with the mask coming to act on jim Carrey who plays the lead role. when donned, the mask turns the individual into a cartoon character giving him/ it the magical powers it has in the cartoon world which affects the real world too.

Relying on practical effects for a small portion of the movie, like makeups and latex green make over the head, all the visual effects are CGI.



ILM was tasked with creating jim carrey & other Actors cartoon charachetrs, or mix them with thier cartoon counterparts so that a real 7 cartoonish mix was achieved on the final production.


Match moving characters, erasing entire parts from screen and then replacing them with computer created cartoon counterparts was done by the team at ILM.
