Life of Hulk

In great action movies, such as The Avengers, the effects are larger than life (EX: The Hulk). Have you ever wondered how they make these monsters look so realistic, and how they create a whole location and make it seem real? Through the advancement of technology, CGI characters are broke down to the skeleton, making the creations more believable than ever before. Also, cities and oceans are now just painted on in Post-Production as Green/Blue Screen has become a highly valued location.

In both The Avengers and Life of Pi CGI work is used for more than making an animation, but rather bring a new world, and its creatures in it, alive.

 

 

Archer Animation

Recently, I've gotten really into the show animated series, Archer. The animation for this "witty spy spoof" has very realistic cartoons and also pretty graphic. Most animated series when the character clothes are off, don't usually have the normal body parts. This show crosses the line with their raunchiness and animation. They actually based the characters of the show off of models to create the comic book like feel. Also, another reason this show is so great is the actors on the show were on Arrested Development, so you know it has to be funny. I enjoy this animation a lot more then the lazy south park drawings, although this show takes a few months to produce while south park is only a couple hours. A unique style of this show is the 3D background used against the 2D characters.
