Cloverfield
Cloverfield's viral marketing campaign helped make it a found-footage staple, but it wouldn't have had the same impact without the head of the Statue of Liberty screeching down a New York City street. In the final film, the scene was reworked to give Lady Liberty's noggin some more detail. "We reworked the shot, rebuilt the head, changed a lot of things about it, made it much more dynamic, and we also knew that [director] Matt [Reeves] wanted to focus on the head for quite a long time," said Michael Ellis, one of the film's visual effects supervisors.
