An CG Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2002)

So I just got back from the movie and this is the first time I've ever posted something.... As a Computer graphics/animation/effects guru, I think this film has surpassed almost all. On the surface you see incredible animation and effects (eg. golom) but at the same time, and something I find a lot harder to reproduce, you see incredible integration with "real" surroundings. If you look at how the golom splashes through water and grabes clothes among all its other seamless integration you really see what the goal is in trying to integrate CGI with reality. On top of that and even more difficult (in my experience) is the incredible humanity as I call it. I consider humanity not looking like a human, but expressions and motion. This is where I think the real breakthrough is. Even in films such as final fantasy (where the models were damn good), at parts things didnt look right because of movement and sheer expression. Any other opinions from others are most appreciated (Especially if any professional animators happen to read this)
