[QUOTE="berserkdroid, post: 395726, member: 6929"] In 1977, STAR WARS pushed the boundaries of Visual and Audio Effects in filmmaking, giving rise to the birth of Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) and Skywalker Sound, which continue to create awesome effects for movies even until today. However, Star Wars did also leave its mark on a young James Cameron who thought "Why the hell didn't I think of this?" (It's on the bonus disc of the original trilogy, peeps) Fast forward into the Tech world of James Cameron. Remember the water creature/spire of THE ABYSS? That would later evolve into the "polyalloy" liquid terminator in TERMINATOR 2. TITANIC amped things up, and now AVATAR has pushed the boundries of CGI to a whole new level, from the evolution of the CG characters in Dire Strait's "MONEY FOR NOTHING" video to Dr Aki Ross in "FINAL FANTASY" to Beowulf in "BEOWULF" and now to the Na'vi Jake Sulley in AVATAR. A lot has happened since 1977, and a lot more is yet to come. 3-D High Definition Television, anyone? Pass the popcorn. :) [/QUOTE]
