► My Top 10 Tips for making your best film on a budget:

Tutorial for this effect is here!

Here's another fun 'impossible' video effect - turning your head completely backwards just like Meryl Streep in 'Death Becomes Her'! It's also a little similar to the famous head / neck twist in The Exorcist, though played for more laughs...

Death Becomes Her was a technologically complex movie to make, and represented a major advancement in the use of computer-generated effects, under the pioneering direction of Industrial Light and Magic (ILM).

Creating the sequences where Streep's head is dislocated and facing the wrong way around involved a combination of blue screen technology, an animatronic model created by Amalgamated Dynamics, and prosthetic make-up effects to create the look of a twisted neck. For most of the key shots they shot Meryl wearing a blue mask and then composited in her head from a different take where she performed in front of a blue screen on a rocking gimbal with similar lighting.

Do you think that's how we did it? We also shot this effect by doing multiple passes of the same move but as usual we tried to take the effect further by using real camera movement. ILM had motion control, but we don't. We just had a regular slider and Adobe After Effects. So how was it done? Let us know in the comments your best guess... tutorial coming soon!

We gave our effect a Christmas twist, but this could also be a good halloween prank!
