What is CGI?• Computer-generated
imagery is the use of computer graphics (especially 3D) to create special effects in media such as film and television.
• More easily controlled than other physical processes (hiring extra actors, using miniature models)
• Looks just like the real thing. This is not a picture, it is a
computer generated image.

film a movie

blue can be edited out and replaced with CGI imagery)
– Almost 100 animators, digital artists, and modelers created the 2D and 3D backgrounds of the entire movie from prepared sketches.
