Chapter 8 Lab
A favorite special effect movie of mine is Frank Miller’s 300. This movie used a wide array of digital camera and software work to develop the special effects used. 300 used a lot of computer-generated imagery in almost every scene. This movie has upheld a visual standard that all movies are expected to produce in this day and age. The visual-effects supervisor of 300, Chris Watts, first attempted to use a mechanical wolf for a shot in the movie. He eventually was forced to cover that up with incredible CGI work. The rest of the movie from there on was developed by a lot of digital creations and recreations in order to produce the final product. 300, along with most movies today, are forced to use all kinds of special effects, specifically computer-generated imagery, in order to meet the standards of today’s movie industry.
