CGI used way more than most people think
2 year old GC before anyone calls it
Most of these seem WAY over the top.

yeah
I remember watching this for the first time and thinking "very impressive, but why??" I mean, I understand that permits/logisitics etc, for some shots would be difficult, but really? this sort of cg is *expensive*... although I guess less expensive than the alternative

Which made the London scenes of 28 days later so bloody good.

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.

a lot of this isn't CGI
most of this is just comping... using real photographic elements comped together.
CGI is normal used to describe an added element that is entirely computer generated...
there for comping a video of someones arm onto their body, is very different from generating A CGI arm...
semantics... and I'm normally anti-semantics.

yes
but shirley you're comping computer generated scenes? e.g. the live action scene and (potentially) a completely computer generated scene?

its not often you would create an entirely CGI environment...
most of these are video element comps... theres some cgi, and even some still images, but most of it is still film comping
