There is one scene in the movie which could have been impossible to produce without computer imagery. The scene involves Scar who wants to kill his royal relatives by trapping them under the crowd of thousands running wildebeests.
‘Occasionally, there's an effect that the directors want in a film that would be virtually impossible to do with traditional animation techniques," explains CGI supervisor Scott Johnston. That's where computer animation can sometimes make a difference. A stampede of thousands of wildebeests would be too laborious to create by hand but animators working with computers can figure out what the behaviour of the animal is and replicate it. We can also create all the camera angles that the scene requires and match them to the landscape of the environment.’ Basically, they had the hand-drawn wildebeest’s model being supervised by the animator Ruben Aquino from which Johnston and his CGI team evolved an exactly the same computer generated model. It is up to 3D animators to translate the idea in 2 dimensions into something in 3 dimensions. They had to build the mo...
Making character animation without any CGI enhancements is an expensive offer, but Chuck insisted on doing it correctly and using the best animators, Maurice Noble, Auril and Richard Thompson, Hall Ashmead and Phil Roman.
Editing processes would have to create the pallor overlying Feyre’s village, and only CGI could create the breathtaking scenery of the Spring Court. The characters themselves couldn’t be created by costumes in a play. In the novel itself, the creatures are shown to possess such grace that it would be nearly impossible to depict. “His skin was velvet-smooth and slippery, a texture I would never be able to paint, not even if I had an eternity to master it” (Maas 150). Each part of the movie would have to be painstakingly created in a way that a play couldn’t do, and would even be difficult with
What do you think about when watching a film? Do you focus on the characters' good looks or the dialogue? Or do you go behind the scenes and think about what made the film? Maybe, it's even a combination of all three. No matter what comes to mind first, an important part of any good movie will be what you see. A camera and good director or cinematographer is needed to make that possible. Different directors and cinematographers will use different camera techniques to make you focus on what you see. Camera techniques show emphasis in films, because they make you focus more on situations and people. They are especially important in Darren Aronofsky’s Requiem for a Dream.
Nicole Starosielski describes animation as having “the potential to depict imperceptible, indeterminate and interactive environments.” That is what made this animation so brilliant. Truthfully I have always been very fascinated by Jane Goodall and her work, but there isn’t a way, other than animation, to put the feel of what she was going through on the screen.
There is a huge industry dedicated to animation and creating entertainment like movies, cartoons, video games, and educational software to deliver a message, tell a story, and/or educate the masses. Animation is the process of creating a continuous motion and shape change illusion by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. Anyone who as ever turned on a television, gone to the movies, seen a commercial has been exposed to an animation style at some point. Some love animation and some are not so interested in it, but regardless it is a booming business that started out simply and is evolving at a rapid pace. Animation today is very advanced and it is amazing what goes into putting things into action, especially when it comes to current animated features and video games. Creators have been able to make fictional characters appear as if they are real and have extraordinary detail, take three-dimensional animation for example. With some 3-D animations it is hard to differentiate if it is indeed an animation or a film with real actors. Scenery can be just as detailed as its real counterparts and characters, although still cartoon-like, have very realistic detail from facial muscle movement to pigment in their skin and eyes. There are some two dimensional works that are exceptional as well. Many are created by drawing out each individual scene and combine in sequence. One can see that 2-D animation today has seamless transitions, compared to jagged transitions exhibited seen in earlier animations. This is due to the thriving technology that animators have at their disposal. From black and white, flat and jagged with poor audio quality to vivid colors, three dimensional...
There a few different types of animation, the first one, and hand-drawn 2D aka traditional animation. When using this technique, animators need to make at least 12 drawings on paper to get 1 second length of film. The pages together basically make a flip book to show the movements. Then they get scanned and put into the computer. The next kind is Digital 2D animation, which is just drawing the frames directly onto the computer using a pen tablet. This is commonly used for TV series. Digital 3D, is almost all done on the computer, getting textures, and animated movements in the software to cut the work load in half.
Have you ever watched a movie with special effects? The movies that are referred to can be suspenseful or an action packed film with special effects that include explosions, stunts or virtual characters. That is the creation and job of a Multimedia Artist/Animator, they bring fun and excitement to movies and games on a daily basis. Some multimedia artist work on movies,cartoons, and video games. A multimedia artist creates special effects on a computer and places the object in a film or a game. Another task that Multimedia Artist/Animator’s are highly skilled at are special effects, they can perform explosions or animate images that seem unrealistic. In their skill set they can adjust the lighting, brighten the scene and make Superman fly simply by fine tuning graphics for a scene to make it realistic.
David Clayton discussed that “As animators we had to transpose the elements of Benedict’s performance that were critical to the shot, such as head nuances and facial expressions. We then built up the majority of his motion with key frame animation.” There were also some motion captures of Benedict Cumberbatch moving his body like the dragon, however they were not entirely put into the film but instead they were used as references for the Smaug’s body movements.

Can you imagine having a job where people are constantly discriminating against you because of your occupation and having justify yourself to people that the labor is not who are you rather what you do (Bruckert & Parent , p. 71). Sex work is one of the most interesting occupation because of the skills and challenges in the industry. With this in mind, sex work is seen as a unique job because of the amount opportunities that it can provide can cause great influence in some individual’s life or even some economics. Yet, it is also seen as one of the most exploited occupations in our society. Sex work is the only form of labor that is the most criminalized, sensationalized and stigmatized by everyone from some feminist groups and law enforcements.
In filmmaking, visual effects are the exercises by which imagery is created outside the context of a live action shot. Visual effects involve the combinantion of live-action footage and produced imagery to create environments which look realistic to the viewer, but would be menacing, expensive, impractical, or simply impossible to capture on film. Visual effects using computer generated imagery have recently become accessible to the independent filmmaker with the introduction of affordable and easy-to-use animation and compositing software.
The goal is to usually create 3-dimensional objects and have them move and interact on the screen using data based off of physic's equations(i.e kinematic equations, energy and momentum, etc.) However often times programmer's and animators don't necessarily want to deal with having to code in every equation every time they want to have an object interact with something new. This brought forth the development of physic's engines. As processors have become more powerful, animators began to try and represent there animations using more realistic methods. In today's latest animated blockbuster's like Shrek 2, to some of today's hottest video games like Halo 2.
Computer graphics is mainly concerned with producing images or sequences of images (animation) using a computer. The hardware and software systems are used to make these images. Producing these Photo-realistic images is an extremely complicated task, but this field has great demand because of the limitless variety of applications. Computer graphics has grown enormously over the past two decades, and many software systems have been developed for generating computer graphics of various sorts. This includes the systems producing 3-dimensional models of the scene, rendering software for drawing these images, and the associated user interface software and hardware[1].
... named in the1970s, workplace sexual harassment has increasingly been the subject of legal measures, awareness campaigns and workplace policies in countries across the world. Through these initiatives, a broad consensus around how this kind of treatment should be defined has been developed: it is usually identified as sex-based or sexual behavior unwelcome to its recipient. The research conducted on its extent and dynamics has confirmed that workplace sexual harassment, although it has male victims, is overwhelmingly directed at women. Moreover, it appears to be more often encountered by those who are in a less-powerful labor market position, including young workers, domestic workers, women in non-traditional jobs, migrant workers and women in the informal sector. It is also apparent that sexual harassment imposes heavy costs on both its victims and their employers.
