We believe that the reason we think all CG (computer graphics) looks bad, is because we only see “bad” CG. Fantastic, beautiful, and wonderfully executed CG is everywhere – you just don’t know it. Truly great visual effects serve story and character – and in doing so are, by their very definition, invisible.

Pakketje
Iets ’s avonds laat bestellen dat er ’s morgens gewoon staat. Ik kan dat niet gewoon worden. Het is dan nog niet eens de ‘same day delivery’ die er aan komt..
De “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” van Arthur C. Clarke kwam in mij op, maar ook de “hoedoenzet?” van mijn vader.Dat die muur-tv-beugel zichzelf niet placeert valt nu wel een beetje tegen.

– Matt Damon, als de op Mars gestrande astronaut Mark Watney in ‘The Martian’ (2015)
I’m going to have to science the shit out of this.Neil deGrasse Tyson is van ’t zelfde gedacht:

Territory UI
Territory Studio zorgt voor de “screen visuals”, de user interfaces die je op de schermen in films zoals Guardians of The Galaxy en Avengers: Age of Ultron te zien krijgt.
“Joss also wanted more realism and grit to the UIs,” adds Sheldon-Hicks. “This involved using more real-world content such as MRI scans or engineering drawings and blueprints and we let that collide with the more fantastic Marvel universe. When you look at data in its raw form it does become organic and becomes quite beautiful. So it was great to use more biological 3D scans. We also looked at 3D printing, the way things are 3D printed up and applied those ideas to way we animated the screens.” (via fxguide.)
