In "Flight," director Robert Zemeckis will help paint a picture of Denzel Washington piloting a large passenger plane to safety amidst dramatic circumstances. The filmmaker has experience in giving an audience a unique look at a situation, often using technological trickery and computer-aided advances to maximum effect. Here are a few innovative productions that illustrate his acumen.

contact also has an interesting shot where Zemeckis had the camera 'enter' a window without a break in the scene (entering ellie's childhood home by the second story window). Very well done.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit didn't come out in 1998. It came out in 1988.
