Its functionality has not changed too much since the beguining of
cinema; nevertheless papier maché and wood structures are disappearing
in benefit of pixels and digital technology. In "Matrix", for example,
some sceneries in which the camera goes along circular trajectories,
the set is totally virtual. The same thing happens in multitude of
the last "star wars" films sequences as well as in "Spiderman", where
they had to recreate in 3D practically all Manhattan for the scenes
in which the hero makes his "flights" by the streets of New York.
