Computer Graphics is about Movies!
If you can imagine it, it can be done with computer graphics. Obviously, Hollywood has caught
on to this. Each summer, we are amazed by state-of-the-art special effects. More and more of these images exist only
within the memory of a computer. There seems to be no end in sight for this trend. But we're not just
talking about big budget mega-productions. There are music videos, and spinning logos on
the 6 o'clock news. Computer graphics is now as much a part of the entertainment
industry as stunt men and makeup.
The entertainment industry plays many other important roles in
the field of computer graphics.
- Leaders in quality and artistry
- Not slaves to conceptual purity
- Big budgets and tight schedules
- Constant reminder that there is more to CG than technology.
- How did they do that?
- They define our expectations
