I think CGI works best when you don't notice it as CGI
I was amazed at the amount of manipulation that went into the film Zodiac. Some of it so subtle but that's when it works best I think.

That's impressive but seems so unnecessary.
Either way Zodiac is fucking brilliant.

I guess essentially as as a period film, they wanted San Francisco to be as it was in the 70s.
It's probably changed massively since.
But I was most impressed with the fact that most of the time I had absolutely no idea I was watching any kind of CGI. Especially the alterations to the buildings. So subtle and effective.

Ahh, I guess you're right.
At no point did I spot a single CGI shot in the whole film.
Also I've just seen this on reddit

That's pretty amazing.
I'm still blown over by Davy Jones from POTC though. Organic creatures seem to be the most difficult to do convincingly, and my ILM got that near perfect. images.usatoday.com/life/_photos/2006/07/17/pirates-topper.jpg
Just the movement, the lighting... incredible.

Ha!
Yes that's one of my favourite CGI creations, I was amazed when I discovered it was a complete CGI effect.

I am currently amazed - I had no idea it was total CGI.
Wow.
