If you followed my blog, then you would have understand how CGI works. It is making an image with only using computer. But many people Think that CGI ruined Movies. It makes a movie unrealistic. The CGI technology enable us to make the tiniest detail on the movie, but on the other hand, it’s very depressive when a movie rely so much on the CGI effect, and making the movie very unreal.
Here is a video when a movie is with and without CGI:
My opinion is that the computer effect is a tool, and we must use the tool correctly. For me CGI is like make-up for the movie. And when something new coming up, there will be someone that share the different opinion. It is like when color was first introduced into cinema, many people found it a gimmick inferior to black and white. Avatar is an example how we can create another world, and for me movies is mainly escaping the reality, so that we can feel another experience that we never had before.
CGI in the hands of great artist and filmmakers will opens up a world full of possibility, and the limit is our imaginations. For producers and writers, it allows them to make a movie like never before.
I think that the CGI will be the next big thing, it will become a new era of film making without restrictions, acting without boundaries and storytelling without limitations. What do you guys think about CGI?
