Computer Graphics

Computer enhanced and generated film images and film
Most images today are computer generated or enhanced and are produced digitally. Even movies! (since Star Wars Episode 2 was the first completely digital movie that wasn't all animated)
Shrek and other Pixar and Dreamworks movies are all digitally animated
I think Toy Story was the first all-digital animated movie; I love the short clips at the beginning of Pixar movies!

Striving for animated photo-realism
Eragon--there are no real dragons so that one is so digital
Lord of the Rings
Narnia
300 (a superb example of digital enhancement :)
Kill Bill, Quentin Tarantino

A page from history: c prompts and such from old OLD computers that didn't understand anything unless you were super specific about what you want! And then Macintosh was born in 1984 and all those old interfaces became obsolete as we all took bites out of this new fruit of knowledge, the Apple computer!

In word, all of the options are available in pull-down menus collected into category tabs at the top of the screen. That's visual communication!
The animated office assistant...everyone's favorite brown-nosing communicator! I like the wizard because he falls asleep and snores if you don't use him. I also like the bouncy ball and the robot and the dog and the kitten who chases his tail. The paperclip is rather overused, so I never use that one, but the others are friendly and not quite so annoying.


I think if you use the dog, he'll chase your cursor if you wave it around.

Google maps--I've never used it but it's kinda creepy that I can zoom in far enough to see if there are any parking spaces at the library!
I can see my house from here! I don't know if I'm fascinated or really creeped out that I can map the route I take when I walk my dogs with the neighborhood kids and see it from an aerial view!
I think I'm gonna go with creepy, but only slightly more so than fascinating.
And I can follow the roads to my parents house and up the street from them to the creek where I used to play when I was a kid and into the forest, but it doesn't zoom in close enough to see the structures hidden by the trees. OMG I just can't wait to show Max! My mother will be upset, though.
