Non CG Special Effects

So I was reading online and came across this article. The article explains that modern technology has effected the special effects in films and shows, but just because we have the technology to add in effects and such, sometimes adding effects in in post-production doesn't necessarily make things look better. This article shows a few examples of ways in which to create effects, while shooting a production. Its actually really interesting. The link is in the title if you want to take a look at it.

Absolutely! whenever you can resolve the "effect" in camera you should do so. It is the most efficient and usually economical way of doing it. That is what a VFX supervisor does among other things; decide which way to achieve a particular effect or look. So these techniques are in constant use in practically every film even with the proliferation of 3D and CGI.
