It was one of Hollywood’s first modern CGI marvels, but it’s taken quite a while for Universal to say the magic word on a Blu-ray release for the Jurassic Park (for now still a) Trilogy. No more – it’s out this October 25th. Nature found a way.
For decades, Amon Tobin has constantly pioneered new sounds in the world of electronic music. So it makes sense that he’d want a visual stage show as advanced and experimental as his sounds. I think he nailed it this time.
OK, internet – I’m not going to let you break my heart again. I know this is almost certainly fake – the product of a CGI firm. But even so, it’s beautiful and amazing, and you can’t rob me of that.
If you’ve watched any basketball games this past season, you might have noticed some really great commercials that showed current NBA stars in their earlier life (in high school, college, etc) interacting with people from “the future” (or 2011). It’s amazing when you see 2005 version of Kevin Durant “react” to the fact that he’ll be playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder (a non-existant team at that point). Or 2011 people telling the young players how great they’ll grow up to be.
From the earliest cartoon dinosaurs to stop-motion to CGI to today’s eye-gouging 3D, Time guides us through a tour of the major milestones in over a century’s worth of special effects achievements. Even The Parent Trap gets some much-deserved love. And who knows? Maybe studying up here will help out with that Oscar pool. [Time]
CG animation has completely revolutionised the film industry. In almost every blockbuster film released these days there’s an element of CG, whether the film be completely animated or a live action adventure. We recently got the chance to interview one of the producers of Despicable Me, Janet Healy, who has a long standing history of working on films that changed the way CG was used in the movie making process. It’s a fascinating look into how far we’ve come in such a short period of time…
This short CGI film created by design studio Charlex is a work of beauty on its own. But when you add Gabriel Byrne’s narration of the poem Dreams – by Fitzgerald Scott – to Peter Lauridsen’s score, it becomes Watch-It-Thrice material.
Alex Roman is some kind of wizard. I suspected it when I saw his jaw-dropping CGI mini-movie The Third & The Seventh, but after watching his new 100 per cent computer-generated commercial, there’s simply no other explanation. My brain is goop.
