'True Grit' performs movie magic

Part of the wonder of movie-making is just how they fool the audience's eyes. Here are a few examples from Joel and Ethan Coen's True Grit set in Granger, Texas:


Filming is taking place in the spring, but the story is set in winter, so a worker had to meticulously remove all of the new leaves from this pecan tree!


Smoke pots were used to add a spooky feel to the street.


Got a telephone pole that is not true to the film's time period? Make it into a tree.
