   <h2>Introduction</h2>
   
   
   <p>Computer-generated imagery or CGI is an area of digital visualization practices that, following its emergence in the late
      1960s, quickly came to hold a privileged relationship to film production —affecting in particular animation, special effects,
      and the big-budget blockbuster. In these areas, digital imaging is consistently pushed to its limits by an ever-advancing
      state of the art. In a view promoted by the industry through plentiful “making-of” coverage, CGI is strongly identified in
      the popular imagination with spectacular special effects, demonstrating Hollywood’s prowess at realizing fantastic visions.
      But CGI plays a more significant if quieter role in its so-called invisible effects, which begin with the unnoticeable retouching
      of filmed “truth” and ripple outward to what some have warned is the destabilization of the cinematic medium itself, replacing
      the industry at every level—from production to exhibition and distribution—with its digital other. Academic attention to CGI
      grew slowly alongside its emergence as a powerful if alien force in filmmaking and film culture during the 1980s and 1990s
      but took off after the crucial year of 1999, when <i>The Matrix</i> heralded the fusion of analogue and digital cinema. Along with celebrity, CGI has become a key focus of popular attention
      on “behind the scenes” information, and an industrial entry point for fledgling filmmakers with access to cheap digital tools.
      But even as it extends the powers and profits of the film industry, CGI has challenged established practices and definitions,
      destabilizing film’s ontological base, its indexical relationship to reality, the tenets of classical narrative structure,
      and even the boundaries separating film from other media such as video games and experimental art.

            <p>A cornerstone of realist film theory, this republished 1945 essay situates cinema within a long tradition of arts that share
               the ideal of freezing or “mummifying” reality. For Bazin, cinema’s unique aesthetic properties flow from its automatic reproduction
               of profilmic reality, promising to reveal our world with new objectivity. Originally published as “Ontologie de l’image photographique,”

            <p>A crucial rethinking of film form and reception in its first decade, arguing that early cinema was spectacular rather than
               narrative, organized around the presentation of startling, theatrical “attractions” rather than the seamless verisimilitude
               that came to dominate with the rise of classical Hollywood narrative.

            <p>This republished 1955 essay by a Hollywood cinematographer paints an embryonic picture of virtual reality, extrapolating from
               then-current exhibition formats of 3D and Cinerama to eventual modes of immersive simulation involving all five senses. Originally
               published as “El Cine del Futuro: The Cinema of the Future,” <em>Espacios</em> 23–24 (1955).

            <p>Building on his masterpiece <em>The Imaginary Signifier</em> (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1982), Metz’s short essay examines film “trickery” or <em>trucage</em> from a psychoanalytic perspective, emphasizing the spectator’s knowing disavowal and providing a taxonomy of types and degrees
               of photographic manipulation. Includes the famous statement “All of cinema can be considered, in some sense, a special effect.”
               Translated from the French by Françoise Meltzer.

            <p>First published in 1965, this essay by an MIT computer-graphics pioneer surveys in both speculative and concrete terms the
               types of input and output devices needed to create immersive, 3D environments through digital technology. First published
               in 1965, <em>Proceedings of IFIP</em> (International Federation for Information Processing) 65.2: 506–508, 582–583.

            <p>A visionary, impassioned screed in the spirit of Marshall McLuhan, assessing the entangled evolution of filmmaking, communication
               technology, and human consciousness. While the focus ranges from television to cybernetics and holography, key chapters examine
               then-cutting-edge forays into machine-assisted filmmaking and the work of pioneering computer animator John Whitney. Introduction
               by Buckminster Fuller.

   <p>Given the technical and frequently spectacular nature of CGI, it is not difficult to find information on the design and making
      of high-tech movies, profiles of individuals and companies important to the industry, and celebrations of particular techniques
      (see <a href="/view/document/obo-9780199791286/obo-9780199791286-0068.xml#obo-9780199791286-0068-div1-0010">Industrial and Technical Resources</a>). While such texts can be useful aids in navigating the technological complexity of digital image creation, their implicit
      promotional inflection and sometimes too-tidy ways of narrating the history of CGI, special effects, and cinema are insufficient;
      it is a good idea to also consult more-inclusive, critical work. <a href="/view/document/obo-9780199791286/obo-9780199791286-0068.xml#obo-9780199791286-0068-bibItem-0007" title="Baker, Robin. “Computer Technology and Special Effects in Contemporary Cinema.” In Future Visions: New Technologies of the Screen.

      More than a decade later, <a href="/view/document/obo-9780199791286/obo-9780199791286-0068.xml#obo-9780199791286-0068-bibItem-0008" title="Enticknap, Leo. “New Moving Image Technologies.” In Moving Image Technology: From Zoetrope to Digital.

            <p>This rambunctious anthology deploys a long-debated term in film studies, cinephilia, as a way of getting at contemporary digital
               imaging and the passionate spectatorial and theoretical engagements it provokes. Its essays, mostly by promising new scholars,
               seek to bring historical roots, along with transmedia scope, to a transforming cinema.

            <p>A sizeable and profusely illustrated compendium on seemingly every conceivable aspect of digital image culture, collecting
               well over 100 contributions from historical and current media theorists, philosophers, inventors, and artists. Originally
               published to accompany a 2002–2003 art exhibit at the German ZKM Institute for Visual Media, it is beautifully laid out, though
               in too artful a format to serve conveniently as a textbook.

            <p>Concentrating on a single special-effects concept widely popular in the 1990s, the morph, this energetic and approachable
               set of essays frames it through the lenses of history, narrative-technical practice, and human subjectivity. Collects many
               of the most important voices writing on special effects today, including Sobchack, Klein, Ndalianis, and Bukatman.

   <h2>Special and Visual Effects</h2>
   
   
   <p>Attention to CGI in film and media studies has largely centered on special effects—the creation of subtle or spectacular screen
      illusion by deceptive means. Both an industrial category and a spectatorial one, special effects cultivate a dual sense of
      wonder toward the potentialities of narrative cinema, helping to tell (and sell) its most ambitious stories while also providing
      opportunities beyond the immediate viewing situation to go “behind the scenes” to see how the tricks were done—a second, technophilic
      order of spectatorial fascination. While special effects and the science fiction/fantasy/horror genres in which they play
      a privileged role were the subject of critical scrutiny before the coming of the computer (see <a href="/view/document/obo-9780199791286/obo-9780199791286-0068.xml#obo-9780199791286-0068-div2-0001">The Analogue Era</a>), the adoption of CGI as a default visual-effects and production tool in the 2000s dramatically expanded the pool of scholarship.
      Case studies of particular special effects, reading their tropes and formal behaviors as one would a genre, can be found in

            <p>Working with an elastic definition of special effects that encompasses architecture and political spectacle, Klein leapfrogs
               through 450 years of history to explore the ways in which “scripted spaces” have always functioned in dialogue with regimes
               of social power and the body—the collective and individual subject—of their time. Impressionistic and even somewhat novelistic.

            <p>McClean, herself a storyboarding and special-effects consultant, employs her familiarity with the industry to argue against
               the often-heard charge that the excessive spectacle of the CGI era has eroded traditional narrative practices. Plentiful examples
               and case studies are scrutinized to show how digital visual effects, like any storytelling tool, have good and bad uses.

            <p>Tracing special-effects prehistory further than most, Ndalianis finds in the Baroque movement of the 17th century a frame
               for discussing the next three centuries of visual entertainment technologies, from portraiture and video games to comic books
               and theme-park attractions, particularly in their use of complexity to appeal to our senses and imaginations.

            <p>North lays out a theory of special effects as artifice designed to be noticed, tracing this history back to the magic shows
               of Georges Méliès’s time and forward through stop-motion animation and science fiction films of the 1950s. The endpoint of
               his discussion is the synthespian or virtual performer, whom North shows to be the product of cultural codes as much as of
               computer technology.

            <p>A work of cultural studies as well as film theory, Pierson’s book examines communities of film-technology connoisseurs across
               the decades, and the role of behind-the-scenes information in reproducing popular understandings of special effects. Elegantly
               conceived and useful in its demonstration that the discourses around CGI shape not just its reception but its evolution.

      <h4>The Analogue Era</h4>
      
      
      <p>Within film studies, the first academics to write about CGI did so using conceptual tools developed for an earlier time—the
         predigital or “analogue” period of film production whose hundred-year existence we can name as such only in its passing—and
         often within the context of special effects and the science fiction (SF) films that put them to their most visible work. The
         miniature models, matte paintings, and prosthetic makeup of that era constituted a rich semiological bed for scholars influenced
         by 1970s “Grand Theory.” <a href="/view/document/obo-9780199791286/obo-9780199791286-0068.xml#obo-9780199791286-0068-bibItem-0026" title="Kuhn, Annette, ed.

                  of visualization and fantasy in mass culture, with two foundational essays on special effects, “The Artificial Infinite” (pp.
                  81–110) and “The Ultimate Trip” (pp. 111–131), anchoring other investigations into comic books, Walt Disney, and Hollywood
                  musicals.

                  to pay equal attention to special effects’ narrative and industrial nature, and because despite its historical reach—all the
                  way back to Méliès and <em>Metropolis</em>—it stems from a particularly active period in special-effects design, including the first experiments with CGI, in the late
                  1970s and early 1980s.

      <p>For these writers, special effects evolved into CGI as part of a larger strategy to keep pace with the demands of a thriving
         blockbuster film industry—one that in its endless expansion and pursuit of new markets and ways to repurpose itself has become
         difficult to distinguish from the media web of television, video games, and the Internet. <a href="/view/document/obo-9780199791286/obo-9780199791286-0068.xml#obo-9780199791286-0068-bibItem-0031" title="Hall, Sheldon, and Steve Neale. “Ancillary Markets, Globalization, and Digital Technology, 1986–2009.” In Epics, Spectacles, and Blockbusters.

               <p>Although not focused on CGI, Bordwell’s chapter examines the charges typically made against blockbuster cinema in areas such
                  as overreliance on spectacle, debunking many of them through reference to classical Hollywood principles of story construction.
                  As with all of the author’s work, lucid, logical, and difficult to dispute.

   <h2>Film in Transition</h2>
   
   
   <p>For some, CGI is merely the visible manifestation of a deeper shift in cinema’s identity, in which the medium’s principal
      claim to uniqueness—its power to record and reproduce the world before the camera—is undermined by the power of digital imaging
      to rewrite that reality, and the mechanics of camera, film, sound, and projection are being rapidly replaced by electronic
      alternatives. The works in this section examine key aspects of this period of profound change, from film’s last hold on indexicality
      to the emergence of a truly digital cinema. <a href="/view/document/obo-9780199791286/obo-9780199791286-0068.xml#obo-9780199791286-0068-bibItem-0041" title="Friedberg, Anne. “The End of Cinema: Multimedia and Technological Change.” In Reinventing Film Studies.

      <h4>Indexicality</h4>
      
      
      <p>In classical semiotics, indexical signs are those produced through direct physical encounter with their referent—fingerprints,
         bullet holes, the smoke rising from a fire. From the start, cinema’s relationship to reality seemed based on a similar principle,
         its images formed by traces of light reflected off objects and recorded in changes to the chemical substrate of film. An analogue
         process in the most literal sense, this relationship has been complicated by the digitalization of filmmaking, which allows
         everything from unnoticeable tinkering to the creation of whole worlds and life forms that never held material existence before
         the camera. <a href="/view/document/obo-9780199791286/obo-9780199791286-0068.xml#obo-9780199791286-0068-bibItem-0045" title="Mitchell, William J.

               <p>Mitchell’s book captures a period of profound skepticism toward digital imaging in the early 1990s, when the plasticity of
                  realistic computer graphics seemed to threaten the very tenets of representation. Although it resonates with current concerns,
                  the inescapable datedness of its examples makes it more interesting as an evolutionary stage in the critical discourses around
                  CGI.

               <p>Originally published in 1996, this essay seeks to locate a middle ground between indexicality and illusion by pointing out
                  the reliance of CGI on perceptual cues—such as dimensionality and surface texture—that embed even the most fantastic imagery
                  in recognizable reality.

               <p>In this crucial riposte to the assertion that digital images constitute a new, postphotographic regime, Rosen draws on Bazin
                  to argue that new media are animated by many of the same reality-capturing tendencies as traditional optical recording.

               <p>Arguing that the digital colonization of cinema occurred not all at once but in distinct phases over many years, Belton suggests
                  in this tart essay that the revolutionary nature of digital cinema has been overstated by an industry all too happy to encourage
                  big-budget spending and the development of new home-entertainment markets.

               <p>Boldly proposes the emergence of “a new posthuman author” at work in CGI-heavy blockbusters, where virtual cinematography
                  promises to dissolve Cartesian space and give rise to new forms of technologized subjectivity.

               <p>Condensing a decade’s worth of insights of one of the field’s earliest and most prophetic theorists of new media, this essay
                  succinctly lays out an archeology of the immersive, interactive image, and in so doing reveals cinema as one stage in a larger
                  trajectory of human art, seeking to bring painterly control to captured reality.

               <p>Turning away from spectacular visions and giant blockbusters, this book focuses on small, independent films from outside the
                  United States to map changes in cinema’s characteristic themes and aesthetics. Most notable for its suggestion that new forms
                  of visual imperfection are coming into existence as an almost-symptomatic compensation for the digital’s impression of flawlessness.

   <h2>New Media</h2>
   
   
   <p>The “C” (computer) in CGI ties this field inescapably to digital technology and the new aesthetics and practices arising from
      it—a heterogeneous field that includes entertainment, information, and art; broadcasting and narrowcasting; and simulation
      and interactivity. The works in this section address the intersection of digital technologies with cinema, video, and live
      performance, as well as their role in blurring distinctions and encouraging the flow and mutation of forms, aesthetics, and
      narrative among media platforms.

            <p>Though published more than a decade ago, this influential updating of McLuhan remains a readable and provocative textbook
               for new-media studies. Its central insight: every new medium “remediates” characteristics of the prior ones, a principle amply
               demonstrated by computer graphics’ colonization of industrial niches such as architectural design, television news and advertising,
               and cinematic special effects and animation.

            <p>Under his concept of “visual digital culture,” Darley aligns videogames, CGI films, and theme-park rides as an overall trend
               toward simulationist entertainment, tracing the history of their emergence and the theoretical implications of their immersive
               aesthetics.

            <p>A cornerstone of new-media theory at the dawn of the 21st century, Manovich’s book was the first to authoritatively stake
               out a distinct vocabulary for talking about digital imaging and processes, calling attention to its algorithmic, combinatorial
               nature and the connection among graphic simulation, technologies of storage and communication, and emerging narrative forms.

            <p>With roots in a 2003 conference at the Glasgow School of Art, this collection examines the destabilization of the concept
               of the “real” in the face of virtual reality, new media, and other practices of science and visualization such as biotechnology.
               Truly interdisciplinary, bringing together film scholars, artists, and philosophers, while drawing on a deep history of modernity’s
               theoreticians.

            <p>Embracing the idea that digital technology has transformed cinema at every level, this slim volume in the Short Cuts series
               explores not just changes in live-action filmmaking but design, experimental art, music video, and animation.

            <p>In this theorization of screens and interfaces, Wood makes a powerful argument for the reshaping of our mediascape by emerging
               technologies. Her examples range widely, from art installations to video games.

      <h4>Virtual Reality and Video Games</h4>
      
      
      <p>Computer science and video game studies are distinct fields with only occasional connection to film and media studies; one
         of their few areas of overlap is CGI, taken here to refer to the creation of digital images in the service of interactive,
         explorable spaces. The same algorithmic processes that generate computer graphics drive the operation of physics and artificial-intelligence
         engines, which sometimes then feed back into cinematic visual effects, as in the clashing armies of the <i>Lord of the Rings</i> trilogy (2001–2003). <a href="/view/document/obo-9780199791286/obo-9780199791286-0068.xml#obo-9780199791286-0068-bibItem-0062" title="Benedikt, Michael, ed.

               <p>Reprinted several times following its original publication in 1991, this early collection of essays brings together computer
                  scientists, cultural theorists, and artists whose work from the 1960s through the 1980s engaged with simulated digital spaces.
                  Topics include online social communities and virtual worlds, the mediation of identity by avatars, and new fields of design
                  and architecture.

               <p>In the vein of film scholarship that asserts a basic structural distinction between spectacle and narrative, this essay investigates
                  the spectacular elements of video games, arguing that graphically intensive game experiences center on the self-conscious
                  demonstration—and glorification—of the computer’s advanced display abilities.

               <p>This essay uses the example of <em>Fable</em>, a 2004 role-playing game, to put forth a model of diegesis (or story world) specific to video gaming. Surman’s analysis
                  touches on questions of internal consistency, visual design, and player interaction.
