SGI-
It used to be animation 1 was done entirely 2 by hand.classics like Disney's Fantasias ware 3 drawn 4 frame by frame.Modern animation, however, has dependedon computers ,like The Prince Of Egypt depends on technology from Mountain View's SGI.The special effects in The perfect Storm and in Titanic 5 were all done with SGI technology .So too were of the Dinosaurs 6 and The Jurassic Park series.When people think special effects they think SGI.
Animation has come along way since the days of painstaking 8 pencil drawings,executed frame by frame.Who would have thought it was possible to create characters so real, so extraordinary and so life-lkie that they literally 9 tremble on a tight rope. Digital Domain maybe a name that means nothing to you ,but you have certainly experienced their work ,founded by Director extraordinary James Cameron, animatronics wiz Stan Winston and EXI.L.Mexecutive scott ross in 1993.
Digital Domain has grown into the world¡¯s most successful visual efffects hous. Their effects made history in films such as True Lies, Apollo13,and The Fifth Element . They are perhaps the most famous for sinking the Titanic. After six years as the leading special effects house in the world, not to mention two Oscar nominations 10, Digital Domain is committed to becoming a production house in their own right.
图形工作站与数字领域大比拼
过去的动画电影完全是由人手进行绘制，经典系列作品如迪斯尼的《幻想曲》就是一张张图画出来的。然而现代的动画则依靠电脑来完成。如《埃及王子》依靠mountain view的图形工作站的技术来完成。《完美风暴》和《铁达尼号》中的特技效果都是由图形工作站制作出来的。《恐龙》和《侏罗纪公园》系列也是如此，当人们想起特技效果的时候，他们就会想到图形工作---- SGI-
动画电影历史悠久，最初是一笔一笔，一格一格地画出来的。当初谁又会想到能够创造出如此逼真、独特、生动的角色呢？以致看来动画中的人物就像真人在踩钢丝。数字领域这个名字对你来说可能并不熟悉，但你肯定看他们的作品。数字领域公司由出色的詹姆斯.卡梅林导演、动画制作大师威兹.斯坦.温斯顿和前ILM公司执行官斯科特.罗斯在1993年成立的。
数字领域已经发展为世界上最成功的视觉效果工作室。他们的特技效果在诸如《真实的谎言》、《阿波罗13号》和《第五元素》等影片中创造了辉煌，他们最出名的可能制作出”铁达尼号”的沉船效果。数字领域6年来一直是全世界顶尖的特技效果工作室，还获得过两届奥斯卡提名奖。他们希望凭借自己的实力，发展成一家影片制作厂家。
