March 19th Blog

CGI is used to digitally enhance a movie go-er's experience.
Most of the most recent award winning movies, or HUGE blockbuster movies have had large amounts of CGI.
For example - the 11 Oscars that Lord of the Rings: Return of the King won.
I often think that in every movie, there is a lot of CGI to touch up actor's facial features and whatnot - only the audience is never told about it so they are never the wiser. I have a theory that CGI is probably airbrushing for the movies.

Graphics enhance the aesthetics of all the movies. I feel sometimes it's no different then shooting something purposely in black and white. Or sepia tone, etc.

It's something that enhances a movie, but can also help tell a story.
How hard would be to watch LoTR without a Smeagol/Gollum?
It's like when you're watching Peter Pan on stage, and Tinker bell is just a bell and a beam of light.
You actually WANT to see Tinker bell and what she looks like.

Now, we can.


YES, dammit. I'm very female. Noted. Leave me and my Peter Pan refrences alone. >:E
