Inception. Jurassic Park. Lord of the Rings. Ratatouille. Not only are these some of the highest-grossing films of all time, they are also prime examples of how digital visual effects have transformed Hollywood filmmaking. Some critics, however, fear that this digital revolution marks a radical break with cinematic tradition, heralding the death of serious realistic movies in favor of computer-generated pure spectacle. Digital Visual Effects in Cinema counters this alarmist reading, by showing how digital effects?driven films should be understood as a continuation of the narrative and stylistic traditions that have defined American cinema for decades. Stephen Prince argues for an understanding of digital technologies as an expanded toolbox, available to enhance both realist films and cinematic fantasies. He offers a detailed exploration of each of these tools, from lighting technologies to image capture to stereoscopic 3D. Integrating aesthetic, historical, and theoretical analyses of digital visual effects, Digital Visual Effects in Cinema is an essential guide for understanding movie-making today. 606 $aMotion picture industry$xTechnological innovations 606 $aMotion pictures$xAesthetics 606 $aDigital cinematography 606 $aCinematography$xSpecial effects 606 $aCinematography$xTechnological innovations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMotion picture industry$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xAesthetics. 615 0$aDigital cinematography. 615 0$aCinematography$xSpecial effects. 615 0$aCinematography$xTechnological innovations. 676 $a778.5/3 700 $aPrince$b Stephen$f1955-2020.$01019991 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461663803321 996 $aDigital visual effects in cinema$92459597 997 $aUNINA
