Thus therefore there must be something right in regular imagery in film, because it has been proven to stand it's own in time. Until ofcourse, Lucas totally sold out to the CGI hysteria in the 1990's, hence completely lost his touch of originality and ingenuity he had some 20 years earlier. Too Bad. But I'm not worried, because I think filmmakers are slowly starting to realize this more and more. Just as bellbottoms were cool in 1974, CGI might have been cool in 1998. but it is getting old now.
Or, as well as the bell bottoms pants from the 1970's, they all look comic and corny today. And the outdated CGI from 1990's already looks very fake and corny today. So the question really is, should CGI REALLY TAKE OVER GOOD'OL FILM??? Or should CGI technology be something for it self, and let film be film. The (1977) Star Wars still stands out today, 35 years later, without the 3D CGI, or (1968) Odyssey in Space 2001, still stands out 44 years later.
This CGI hysteria started as a competition among movies made between mid 1990's until now. Showing off who has better "More Expensive" Computer Equipment. However, because of this Total "Fashionable" CGI Hysteria in film, there is now as a result, Lack of Storyline, total lack of ingenuitive character development, and just very little originality in film any more, what so ever. Thus therefore, just as the futuristic hysteria visions of the 1950's and early 60's cars and architecture,
Hence that which is subconscience is actually really the preferable.5. And probably the most important reason is. Because CGI is a Fashion. A temporary thing, yet not necessary at all, as modern feature films have been made for good 65 years before CGI took over, and they had just as much of quality and magic, without CGI. However, it was something "new" and "hip" some 20 years ago when it started, so naturally people went along with it for a while. CGI hysteria started as a competition in 90's.
4. Although people love animation (usually as humor), however, in real life, human subconscience relates with reality of an image, not a realistic reproduction of that reality. Eventhough on the surface we might admire the progress of technology behind it, we subconsciously still prefer the realistic image of our reality. Hence we dream real images, not CGI animated reproduction of faces. No matter how weird the dream might be, it is still a realistic image, when we dream it.
Reason CGI will never win over Real film imagery is, or better yet there are couple of reasons.
1.Computer Graphics evolves constantly, and already CGI made a decade ago on for instance new Star Wars I-III (1998-2004) is already outdated. Looks video game like, fake, and even comic.
2.While the original footage from Star Wars Trilogy shot between 1976-82, or any classic films, still stands out. Just as real image from 1860's is as real as image is today.
@danzillaman Avatar is the fakest looking CG film yet. Jurassic Park 1+2 and Star Wars Episode I managed to look completely real with many of their effects, yet the biggest most advanced CG film now looks like a bad video game. It's only been going downhill.
And it's because the early CG films had pro's working on them these days video game kids with no knowledge of real filmmaking are behind the computer screens.
Compare the kraken from clash of the titans 1980 and 2010 the new one is cgi the old one is stop motion then see what movies will be without it no jurassic park, tron, and avatar
Nostalgic people feel offended when someone thinks that the "new" is better... Nostalgic people are like rocks blocking the path to the future...
Whenever I hear a nostalgic person talk... I can feel a certain anger mixed with anxiety... Nostalgic people basically live to smash their "enemies" opinions by humiliating and disqualifying their "enemies"...
@Trekiefreak777 I'am not in my 80's or 70's but alot of people don't like CGI because it looks fake compare to old movies with lots of extras and real people. It just looks fake when like 70% of the movie is CGI, some CGI is ok but when everything including explosions or something huge on the screen is CGI it just looks unrealistic.
@AUG351 Actually, it only looks unrealistic if it just wasn't done right. The thing goes with puppets, which did suck in the early days, but got better as the technicians got more experienced. George Lucas remarks about comparing puppets to CGI: "They're both fake. What's the difference?"
@Trekiefreak777 The difference is Yoda in return of the jedi was real. The difference is the bear in AI was real. The difference is the cars in blade runner can really fly and the robot suit used in the end of aliens really works and the queen was a real monster.
Or at least they damn well look real as fuck. CG just only ever looks fake.

can someone tell me the name of that tech were it showed a captain america guy skinny like, then they applied some algorithms and it could made him look fat,ripped, etc, in real time. I saw it a few years ago but forgot the name. There's a video here too. Really freaking cool!
I realy hate when you newbs call it CGI. The Truth is that CGI is just a company that puts out 3D graphics. There is no technical word, yet only by the design of the company as in defintion. The REAL term came from Gooey or better known as GUI. You ppl sound like idiots to REAL programmers that use.. Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard that defines how web server software can delegate the generation of web pages to a stand-alone application or an executable file. known as CGI scripts
@giriisindahouse CGI is a serverside scripting executable web based programming language. It was designed to preload scripting such as Java, which are not commonly packaged or installed on standard OS. This better allows programmers to use their own scripting builds without the viewer needing to download the scripts. Most 3-D graphics are designed thru software such as 3D Studio Max. So a company that produces 3D get a plug everytime someone says CGI, as if they do all graphics on the market.
@celticguardian951 Yeah, they need to remember that CGI is just a tool. You can't overuse it in place of a good story and cast. If you can't connect audiences to the story or characters, having out of proportion special effects just makes things worse by making everything feel fake.
I wonder what computer graphic in video games and movies will look like in 25 years? I wonder how long it will take before it's so realistic you can't distinguish it from reality at all? I wonder if actors will be replaced?
@TheRitchardgaleHater your stupid cgi rocks whats to hate about it it makes things look more realistic instead of old and cheesy your just one of those hypocrites who thinks everything new sucks but deep down you know it is awesome come on do you thing it would have been possible to create something like i robot, 2012, lord of the rings, and avatar, with out making it look "cheesy and fake" without cgi if you hate cgi than you hate technology but yet i bet you cant wait for the new iphone uh lol
@chichiko56 I know that alot of movies couldn't be created if it wasn't for CGI, and I'm thankful for that, but there are so many movies out there that use to mkuch CGI. Little CGI in a movie couldn't hurt but to much is to much, just look at Men In Black. And just because I don't like CGI doesn't mean I hate all the new technology lol XD kid.
Think before you write, your comment made you look stupid
Does anyone know if basically 2001 - 2011 it's just been polishing (in terms of rendering quicker and pulling of slightly more realistic stuff : cloth, hair, etc)? Actually even since 1995 (toy story) because I can't see MUCH difference. Hollowman/abyss looks a little bit outdated, but Jurassic Park, LOTR etc... could be released in 2011 and would still win awards.
The first ever cgi animated filmwas the 1973 movie "Tubby the tuba." However, most if not all the CGI scenes were replaced with hand drawn at some point
By the way... your Scenes were of the Digitally Remastered Version of Star Wars, the Vector 3D Scenes where the turning Death Star at the Briefing, and the Aiming Computer visualisation of the Death star "canyon"
Hey, you forgot something very important, the Time machine from 2002, the first movie using a new format of colors of all time, And cool vid, what is the name of the song?
Star Wars had no CGI originally. Spider-man came out in 2002. So did The Two Towers. The Fellowship of the Ring came out in 2001 and used AI. Pleasantville had a similar effect to Sin City, and it came out in 1998. Spy Kids 3-D and Star Wars Ep. 2 were also done like Sin City and they both came out before it too.
@raymond18 Actually, before the "Special Edition" in '97, Star Wars did have computer graphics in it, just no PHOTOREALISTIC CGI. The Death Star attack briefing scene used real 1970's vector graphics to illustrate the attack plan (look up Larry Cuba, computer graphics artist on Star Wars. Also, remember the tactical displays on the Millennium Falcon's gun turrets; same thing.
I like cgi and it will eventualy look REAL and that cgi look and feel will be solved. Avatar was extremely close and cgi has already improved since avatar. Compare the cgi in the star wars prequels to Avatar-big improvement-maybe avatar 2 will have cgi that looks real;)
The best balance of cgi in a film (that I've seen) was The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. It was a very believable film, because cgi was only used in places where actual props would have looked cheesy. Yes, yes, lotr, I know. But, I'm gonna have to blaspheme movie history and say that the cgi in LOTR was just overwhelming. The whole movie ende up looking like it was made out of dough.
@NoogahOogah golden compass beats lion witch wardrobe with cg
how about looker and tron 1982 ouh and roger rabbit ! 1988
i think first full-length non-toon 3d cgi movie was final fantasy spirit within!
the abyss is most over looked film of all time because over 95% of it was real but many thought it was cg only thing that wasn't real was the water particle ,other fx films lens man and ghost in the shell animation ,not forgetting pupet-motion darkcrystal and labyrinth (also had cg characters)
I dislike cgi in movies unless its for depicting static / non living items., If its overuse in movies carry's on i think it would be the death of the film industry. They only use it because it cheaper and quicker to dish out commercial crap without a storyline / or talent. BRING BACK REAL MODELS AND PROSTHETIC'S. Lord of the rings had a very good balance but again cgi dosnt scale well against real life backdrops so it looks fake. IE i think they should have used some costume /makeup for gollum
@o0zeroeffect0o Thats not exactly what i said, you result of a split condom. PS I guess your impotent then by your comment and you assume women have balls, Faggot!
BUBU there's a lot of mistake in this retrospective !!!
you should adding the experiment of the first facial test by University of Utah with the Gouraud shading from "Henry Gouraud", and no, Maya was no used in the first time in Spiderman, but in movie like "The Mummy" 1998 and " Starwars" 1999 in the end of the 90's.^^ and Toys Story was not mentioned like says the other.
@Flash11I19 For me the big wows stopped at Jurassic Park. But continued with games. We could probably do the same level of effects in real time on a home PC by 2014. You might like "No Fate But What We Make: 'Terminator 2' and the Rise of Digital Effects" (2003) and Issue 55 of CineFX magazine. A lot of Jurassic Park stuff with all the old ads including Alias Wavefront.
Well i would say there should a lot more names in this video,and if you named this video the Gistory of CGI why you didnt put the films wich really made the history companys like pixar ILM dreamworksthey all have putted a lot of work into the century where a 12 year old child can make something simillar on his home computer.They are the legends.
No mention of the first real CGI in Star Trek 2 (the Genesis Project) which came out shortly before Tron, no mention of Terminator 2 and all of it's CGI innovations, no Pixar mention with the first completely CG movie with Toy Story....? Yet forgetable crap like TMNT andFantastic Four 2 are mentioned? FAIL.
@scottrobertsweb Futureworld was the first use of 3D graphics in cinema ever. I strongly suggest this video's author to go do some further research to make this work more historically accurate.
Great video, although you forgot to mention about Star Trek II (the Genesis sequence). I loved Tron movie released in July/82, but still, Star Trek II was released 1 month earlier, in June, that makes it the pionneer in terms of a full rendered 3D CG animation to be inserted in a movie.
Try Blender. At first it's complicated to use, but after a few tutorials you will get the hang of it. It's open source, but more capable than some commercial software.
TOY STORY is DEFINITELY missing. It was the first feature length movie to be done ONLY using cgi and it was a REALLY BIG deal that made it into cgi history.
It's amazing what they were able to do with Jurassic Park. The t rex in that movie looks so real. Even King Kong t rexes looks more fake than the one in Jurassic Park.
i perferd it when it was used as a tool rather then the whole set also something is missing i dont know if its to do with hardware as the amiga and indy systems was graphically more advanced but painfully slow to pcs or if its artist rushing in a fast paced world rather then the please wait loading , take a chill pill one, but yeah although physics have come along way i perfer the oldskool to the pc split second stuff
In Total Recall CGI was only used for the blocky view from the robot's perspective. Total Recall 2 was the first feature-length movie to use 3D-animation.
Great compilation!!! But Terminator 2 should surely be up there among the top First CGI movies!!! Even people from ILM will agree that Jurassic Park CG effects would not have been possible if they had done Abyss and Terminator 2 beforehand!!!

that annoying ball button that serves ABSOLUTELY NO PURPOSE except waist of space maybe
the fact that some comments instead of saying "ok" say "error try again"
and no matter how you try it will always say that
and third lately the videos not loading automatically

Star Wars had no CGI originally. Spider-man came out in 2002. So did The Two Towers. The Fellowship of the Ring came out in 2001 and used AI. Pleasantville had a similar effect to Sin City, and it came out in 1998. Spy Kids 3-D and Star Wars Ep. 2 were also done like Sin City and they both came out before it too.

@raymond18 Actually, before the "Special Edition" in '97, Star Wars did have computer graphics in it, just no PHOTOREALISTIC CGI. The Death Star attack briefing scene used real 1970's vector graphics to illustrate the attack plan (look up Larry Cuba, computer graphics artist on Star Wars. Also, remember the tactical displays on the Millennium Falcon's gun turrets; same thing.

I like cgi and it will eventualy look REAL and that cgi look and feel will be solved. Avatar was extremely close and cgi has already improved since avatar. Compare the cgi in the star wars prequels to Avatar-big improvement-maybe avatar 2 will have cgi that looks real;)

The best balance of cgi in a film (that I've seen) was The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. It was a very believable film, because cgi was only used in places where actual props would have looked cheesy. Yes, yes, lotr, I know. But, I'm gonna have to blaspheme movie history and say that the cgi in LOTR was just overwhelming. The whole movie ende up looking like it was made out of dough.

@NoogahOogah golden compass beats lion witch wardrobe with cg
how about looker and tron 1982 ouh and roger rabbit ! 1988
i think first full-length non-toon 3d cgi movie was final fantasy spirit within!
the abyss is most over looked film of all time because over 95% of it was real but many thought it was cg only thing that wasn't real was the water particle ,other fx films lens man and ghost in the shell animation ,not forgetting pupet-motion darkcrystal and labyrinth (also had cg characters)

don't like CGI anymore...it's good in moderation but now it's just used a bit too much and it's so obvious that it isn't real
proudtobeirish77 1 year ago
I dislike cgi in movies unless its for depicting static / non living items., If its overuse in movies carry's on i think it would be the death of the film industry. They only use it because it cheaper and quicker to dish out commercial crap without a storyline / or talent. BRING BACK REAL MODELS AND PROSTHETIC'S. Lord of the rings had a very good balance but again cgi dosnt scale well against real life backdrops so it looks fake. IE i think they should have used some costume /makeup for gollum

@Flash11I19 For me the big wows stopped at Jurassic Park. But continued with games. We could probably do the same level of effects in real time on a home PC by 2014. You might like "No Fate But What We Make: 'Terminator 2' and the Rise of Digital Effects" (2003) and Issue 55 of CineFX magazine. A lot of Jurassic Park stuff with all the old ads including Alias Wavefront.

Great video, although you forgot to mention about Star Trek II (the Genesis sequence). I loved Tron movie released in July/82, but still, Star Trek II was released 1 month earlier, in June, that makes it the pionneer in terms of a full rendered 3D CG animation to be inserted in a movie.

Try Blender. At first it's complicated to use, but after a few tutorials you will get the hang of it. It's open source, but more capable than some commercial software.

The closeups in Jurassic Park were animatronic puppets. Only in the wider shots the far less detailed 3D-dinosaurs were used.

i perferd it when it was used as a tool rather then the whole set also something is missing i dont know if its to do with hardware as the amiga and indy systems was graphically more advanced but painfully slow to pcs or if its artist rushing in a fast paced world rather then the please wait loading , take a chill pill one, but yeah although physics have come along way i perfer the oldskool to the pc split second stuff

great vid, would just like to point out one thing regarding the bullet time CG.
Bullet time CG was 1st used in the Movie BLADE,
when Stephen Dorf is holding the little girl hostage in the middle of the park and Blade fires a single round which puts the camera in a slow-mo.
other than that, screw the dates.
this is still a great homage to CG
