[QUOTE]Originally posted by targetemployee: [QB] Inside the National Geographic magazine for May 2001, there is a two page ad for the upcoming film "Pearl Harbor". If I had a functional scanner, I would scan the ad. I think this is one of the clearest examples of the limitatations of the current SFX-CGI (Computer Generated Imagery). The scene is this- We are at a baseball diamond at a military base. Children were playing baseball when they look up and see Japanese planes flying overhead. By overhead, I mean these planes are flying just above the fence line, approximately 15 or 20 feet above the ground. I think the problem with this image is that there is a sharp contrast between the live elements-the people, the baseball field, the fence-and the CGI effects-the planes, the base, which is seen in the background. The CGI is out of focus, two dimensional, and the lighting is out of synch. This is can be seen in the boy who stands in the foreground, left of center- and the lead plane-right of center. Further complicating the issue is the flight paths of some of these planes. There is one plane southwest of the lead plane mentioned above which seems to be flying into the fence. I feel that the creators of the ad took elements of two separate scenes-the baseball game and the planes in flight-and cut and paste them into a scene of improbablity. If someone can scan this image, I would be grateful. I would like to hear other peoples opinions on this topic. Thank you. [/QB][/QUOTE]
