![]() Small bursts of fire were filmed in front of a black background and made transparent using a luma key. Most notably, the creators of the fire breathing Balrog in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring used sprites to simulate fire emanating from the surface of the demon. Sprites have also occasionally been used as a special effects tool in movies. The sprite illusion can be exposed in video games by quickly changing the position of the camera while keeping the sprite in the center of the view. Often sprites are used to depict phenomena such as fire, smoke, small objects, small plants (like blades of grass), or special symbols (like "1-Up"). When the illusion works viewers will not notice that the sprite is flat and always faces them.
