There is one scene in the movie which could have been impossible to produce without computer

Halberstam brilliantly enough discusses how CGI, which are out of the norm, are being used to exemplify many ideas such as revolution, capitalism, and transformation. CGI films as explained by Halberstam are movies generated solely by a computer that breaks off from societal norms which can be considered as being queer, different or odd, to Halberstam. Movies that include animating revolt usually incorporate human and non-human struggles in which two groups are then pit against each other to show a theme that would never be shown in adult movies. In the movie, Chicken Run, the chickens are the oppressed people of society while Mr. Tweedy and Mrs. Tweedy are the ones in control.

camera angles and classic puppetry were enough to do the trick. Watching this film, I was able to

This technique is used to layer foreground and background images based on color hues or the chroma range.  The CGI technician layers the computer modelling around the actor. Programs such as PhotoKey 6 Pro make it possible to render the images seemlessly. Being a CGI technician requires computer knowledge and takes hours to edit and add in the actors into the computer generated world. An example of a seemless CGI movie is Avatar which cost $425,000,000 to make but grossed $2.7 Billion worldwide (www.the-numbers.com/movie/budgets/). For every 1/24 of a second or one frame of film it took 47 hours of rendering (www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/trivia).

Lucas and Dykstra were paying close attention to the details and motions of every creature and miniature in the film, especially how to make them look as life-like as possible through the use of animation and motion control photography that, surprisingly, still looks fresh today. Star Wars was the first movie to use realistic explosions, action

In the beginning of the movie, the audience first sees the Brachiosaurs. Noticeably, we all can come to the realization of the lacking of realism in the scene. Due to poor lighting, the dinosaur appeared sloppy and fuzzy. Later on, Jurassic Park relied on a software named CGI, computer-generated imagery. It is hand-drawn animation or stop motion containing several pictures put together to create movement.

Computer generated imagery or computer generated content is by no means a new concept of technology. In fact, the use of computer generated effects trace back to the 1960’s when it was first used to create 2D animations, but first broke ground in 1973 when it was used in the Science Fiction Thriller, Westworld. The history of computer generated content continued to develop and gain popularity as years rolled passed and movies like Star Wars, The Matrix, and, later, Avatar put CGI on the map. In modern day society, GGI and photoshopped images are very much integrated into the video or photo content that we consume everyday, and in a way that is indistinguishable to the naked eye. Until now, these effects were the creation of billion dollar budgets and teams of specialized animators that worked very hard at making some of the most realistic and beautiful work.

The cinematography of the movie consists of varying landscapes and scenes that are alluring and appealing to the viewer. Each scene is carefully detailed and drawn out to make the viewer feel like they are immersed in the film. With every new landscape there is a different feel to it, like open fields with tall grass that sway from side to side as the wind blows or deep, foggy forests with tall, barely noticeable silhouettes of trees that close in on the viewer as the character progresses through the path. The cinematography is unlike any other film that is animated. Some animated films don’t focus on scenery as much as other films that make the scenery tie into the plot and

IT has also changed the way movies are shot particularly through application of film special effects. The film industry heavily relies on illusions to simulate imaginary events in a story (McClean, 2007). Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) is another key technology that is applied to special effects to enhance films. CGI is mainly used in special effects to enable filmmakers to control the scenes instead of using many extra actors. This has simplified film production and reduced the costs incurred. A lot of movies especially those classified under fiction, action, and horror genres rely on CGI.

Using both sounds and visuals helped make Casino Royale, the movie, a more enjoyable, understandable and gratifying movie for audiences to watch. These additions of sounds and visuals helped Campbell effectively illustrate the novel

Computer-generated imagery was being developed during the 1980s and it soon started being used in films for effects. Rickitt (2006) explains that effects during the 80s were not just there to solve problems and producing impossible shots like their initial purpose but used as a marketing tool for films to promote themselves based on the quality of the image and amount of visual effects involved. Star Wars was the first film to make use of this marketing tool and made people grow more interest on the film itself as well as the effects and of course, this brought more income to the studios. This trend of using effects to promote films was immediately picked up and abused, but it did not last long. Tron (1982) was the first film based almost entirely on computer-generated scenery and massively advertised for them. However it ended up failing at the box office even though it had superb computer generated effects at the time of its release. Rickitt described that the failure of Tron could have been what made visual effects take longer to develop and being incorporated in films. This was the first sign that a film heavily equipped with effects does not mean that it would make a hit. Narrative is an important element of a film and effects cannot compensate for a bad narrative (McClean, 2007).

Today the method of traditional animation is outdated. New technology is now in place to make the process faster and make the images crisper. Today, drawings or backgrounds are scanned into or drawn directly onto a computer software program. These software programs can simulate camera movement as well as various other effects. In 1994, the Lion King was produced using a combination of traditional animation alongside computer animation.

The technological factors in the animation industry are not really favorable. Though there are several supportive technologies, there is constant rapid change, resulting in quickly obsolete technologies. Consequently, keeping up with the dynamism of animation technologies becomes difficult.

Also, when it comes to live action scenes and blocking them out it is much easier for the director and camera person to capture on film. The director can give the actor an action to do and he or she does it on demand. Where as in animation each angle must be drawn

Computer Graphics have improved tremendously over the last few decades. These improvements have changed the Video Game industry and the Movie Industry. Today Visual Effect Artist have the tools to create virtually anything. Although, they have this great softwares that help them tremendously in their jobs, they are still very artistic, they are also able to perform numerous calculations to create great graphics. These improvements have made movies feel more realistic. Shrek is a great example of a movie that makes use of computer graphics extremely well. The movie Shrek is about a green ogre name Shrek who becomes friend with a talking donkey. In the first movie produced in 2001 Shrek decides to rescue Princess Fiona from a dragon. One of my favorite scenes in Shrek is when the Dragon wakes up and starts chasing Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona.

The risk-taking film made use of the multi plane camera to create an illusion of depth. It introduced human characters modeled after live actors and used larger painted cels and drawing boards.
