Cgi
Although CGI became more popular and mainstream in the 1990s, there were earlier examples of films like Tron (Steven Lisberger,1982) which used rotoscoping (see Unit 6) and CGI to create a unique visual style. Other films made in the 1980s were decorated with complicated post-production, such as an owl created by animators Bill Kroyer and Larry Yaeder, which opened the film Labyrinth (Jim Henson, 1986). The film may have had a CGI opening, but was famous for using in-camera effects, like puppets and complex set design.
It wasn’t until the 1990s that CGI was beginning to be used in the “real world,” and not only in films set in a science-fiction or fantasy world. A good example of CGI trying to look “real” was The Abyss (James Cameron, 1989) which had a single sequence of a CGI creature known as the “Pseudopod.” The Pseudopod was a stream of water that could copy the faces and facial expressions of the human characters. Industrial Light & Magic or ILM (the same people behind the effects in Star Wars) constructed these 16 shots over a period of 5 months.
Although important to the plot of the film, the Pseudopod sequence was just one scene in a movie that was longer than 2 hours. It was not until James Cameron went back to ILM a few years later, that they would work together to make a CGI character very to a films entire narrative, the T1000 Terminator, which was one of the main characters in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Although the character used a real actor, and some practical effects, like puppets and models, the character also involved some CGI, which many believe is still impressive today.
