JURASSIC PARK (1993)
The dinosaurs are REAL.

With dinosaur input devices: models


that fed information into computers to
allow animation of characters like stop
motion puppets and the debut of the
famous 3D effects made us believe
what was happening on the screen.

LORD OF THE RINGS


(2001-2003)
The trilogy that became epic by its
resources.

Gigantic armies were digitally created


and real scenarios were finalized with
the aid of CGI's. Without the motion
capture technique, there would not be
some of the most striking characters.

AVATAR (2009)
10 years of study to the most
acclaimed film of the decade.

Breathtaking digital scenarios,


whether it be the perfect way to
capture actors' expressions to be
reproduced by their digital versions,
which not only revolutionized the
history of cinema, but that of games
as well.

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF


THE APES (2017)
Technologies keep evolving.

The apes were created with a mixture


of motion-capture and CGI key-frame
animation, as they were performed in
motion-capture technology and
animated in CGI.The visual effects for
War were created by Weta Digital,
believing that those were real apes.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME
(2019)
The edition has POWER.

The highest grossing new movie


surpasses all expectations, featuring
realistic scenarios, changing
characters, and the biggest movie
bust, all about a green chroma-key
and lots of editing.
