| Feb 1, 2021 at 1:08 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 | @DjangoReinhardt - Yes they are different ... however, it doesn't make what I said wrong. CGI is CGI, whether it is full screen or used to augment. It's still computer generated. It still doesn't make me "Wrong." (as you put it and still seem to think). And again, I wasn't saying it was used here, I was saying they had CGI well before this movie came out. In TRON it was used EXTENSIVELY. | |
| Jan 31, 2021 at 21:58 | comment | added | Django Reinhardt | @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 There's a very big difference between fullscreen computer generated imagery (like TRON, Toy Story, etc.), and computer generated imagery that augments live action footage. The second (briefly seen in Total Recall during the scanning scene) had not been used before 1990, let alone "extensively". | |
| Jan 28, 2021 at 2:20 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 | @DjangoReinhardt - No clue what you're talking about because TRON was the first movie to utilize extensive CGI. TRON came out in 1982, well before the release of Total Recall. If you look at my comment, I'm not saying this was CGI, I was just stating the fact CGI had been around since before this movie. I have no clue what is "wrong" with that statement. Also the reason it is a COMMENT and not an answer. I wasn't trying to answer the question. | |
| Jan 28, 2021 at 1:50 | comment | added | Django Reinhardt | @Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 Wrong. They didn't have that kind of motion tracking CGI technology in 1990. They did this by... HAND, using traditional animation techniques, not by computer. | |
