The document discusses computer-generated imagery (CGI) and how it is used to create or contribute images for films, television, commercials, and video games. CGI uses computer graphics to generate dynamic or static two-dimensional and three-dimensional scenes and visual effects. It allows creation of realistic images and effects that would otherwise be impossible. CGI is commonly used for its visual quality and control compared to practical effects.

What is CGI?
Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the application of
computer graphics to create or contribute to images in
art, printed media, video games, films, television
programs, commercials, videos, and simulators.
What is it for?
The visual scenes may be dynamic or static, and may be two-
dimensional (2D), though the term "CGI" is most commonly used to
refer to 3D computer graphics used for creating scenes or special
effects in films and television.
The term 'CGI animation'
refers to dynamic CGI
rendered as a movie. The
term virtual world refers
to agent-based,
interactive environments.
Computer graphics
software is used to make
computer-generated
imagery for films, etc.
What are the features of CGI?
CGI is used in films, television programs and
commercials, and in printed media. 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.

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.
Intended effect on audience
After the success of movies like Terminator 2 and
Jurassic Park, it became apparent that CGI was the best
way to create realistic effects. One of the main reasons
CGI outshined techniques like stop-motion was
movement.
