ECG - Part 02 CGI – Computer Graphics Industry !

ECG - Part 02
Computer Graphics Industry

At Last! Morpheus says in the film “The Matrix” when Neo makes his mind to meet him. Congrats People you guys are on the second thread which shows your desire and understanding of the first thread. Technically Speaking CGI stands for Computer Graphics Integration.

Integration of What?

If we see the History of Computers they primarily belong to the work in Computing Logistics Data and So on. Then How Come Space Ships Started Flying in it? and Who? Put the Dinosaurs into it? What do you think who put them? “The Film Makers made them to put it.” Computer Graphics Industry was Nurtured and Developed on the Demands of Film Makers. The Director / Producer choose the subject that could expand the canvas of Life. In the early nineteenth century we saw Animation taking a great form of Entertainment, Mouse and Rats possible every animal was Entertaining and depicting emotion like real people at that time Computer where still out of business of Films and Entertainment. As the Time Progresses Film Producers, Writers and Directors Started looking for more interesting Subject to Portray and that demanded Virtual Cameras. When Steve Spielberg the great Film Maker decided to cast Dinosaurs in the Movie ”JURRASIC PARK” and Photo Realistically Interact with Humans.  Where did you think Steven have conducted the screen tests for the Dinosaurs? Or, Which Modeling Agencies have supplied Spielberg the great figure Dinosaurs? If you search from all around the globe you will not get Dinosaurs for sure... Yes, you might end up in getting their Bare Bones.

The Computer Graphics Industry came in to the Existence due to the heavy Need of Creative Content Development for Feature Films, Commercials, Games and Documentaries .When the “Physical Camera Fails the Virtual Camera Begins”. If you have loved the Dandruff add with your Favorite Model Actor and the time the camera runs across the scalp of your favorites, the Dandruff flakes that are presented are entirely virtually created in computer graphics. The real physical camera practically cannot be banged in to the scalp of the actor-model and needs to be seamlessly replaced by Computer Graphics Virtual Camera. Computer Graphics Industry was developed to fulfill the creative needs of Story tellers, Remember   “Art is the Demand, Technology is the Supply” and the same Logic goes for Computer Graphics. Computer Graphic Industry is the Subject to Content Creation. So to get a job in the Computer Graphics Industry you Need Studios, Studios Need Project...Project are created by Producers and Film Makers. If Ten out of Ten goes out for Films and Commercials based on CGI then we are right back in to the business, a lot of big Cinemas needed Computer Graphic creating periodic Films as like “GLADIATOR” know most parts of the world are catching up and exploiting the power of CGI from, Small Market like Television - Motion Graphics all your local channel Logos and Titles that you Wow at is been made by no black magic but by CGI. You’re daily Products which you consume in to your Day- Day - Life so called pack shots are creatively exaggerated in CGI and off Course Games, Documentary and FILMS. So please appeal to your respected film and content development Industry Producers, Directors and Writers to develop more content based on CGI J or become my film producers :-)

End of Part -02

Enjoy!
