Starship Troopers

A. The films producers ingeniously used an exsiting dump site (filled with highway concrete chunks hauled in after a recent earthquake) as the live action location.

B. Some rotoscope work (frame by frame tracing to create traveling mattes) allowed the actors and extras in the foreground to walk in front of and across the painted background. Fire elements were also shot and extensively replicated throughout the frame. A handheld camera move was added to the shot to imply it was shot by a news cameraman.
