What is CGI?? I HEAR ABOUT IT IN MOVIES?

Answer 1

Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the application of the field of computer graphics or more specifically, 3D computer graphics to special effects. CGI is used in movies, television programs and commercials, and in printed media.

CGI is used for visual effects because the quality is often higher and effects are more controllable than other more physically based processes, such as constructing miniatures for effects shots or hiring extras for crowd scenes, and because it allows the creation of images that would not be feasible using any other technology. It can also allow a single artist to produce content without the use of actors, expensive set pieces, or props.

Video games most often use real-time computer graphics (rarely referred to as CGI), but may also include pre-rendered "cut scenes" and intro movies that would be typical CGI applications. These are referred to as FMV.

Recent accessibility of CGI software and increased computer speeds has allowed individual artists and small companies to produce professional grade films, games, and fine art from their home computers.

This has brought about an Internet subculture with its own set of global celebrities, clichés, and technical vocabulary.

Answer 3

Computer Generated Images. Most of the effects, backgrounds and even some characters in recent movies exist only on a computer. Fight Club used CGI to explore the inside of Ed Norton's brain.

Answer 4

Computer Generate Imaging

This is the technique that uses computer to generate images that can then be superimposed on film. This can be used to generate 'unnatural images' such as cartoons, flying cars, etc on to a standard film with real people and scenery. This can also be used to make a complete computer generated animated movie. Toy Story was one of the first fully CGI animated movie.

Hope this helps!
