The top digital effects can be found in the following films:
Star Wars (1977) Motion control photography in which a computer is used to control long camera sequences and movements (shown in spaceship battles). This saves time.
Tron (1982) Wasn't the first to use computer generated (CG) graphics, but was the first to create a 3D worlds with it; a pioneering CGI film.
Terminator 2- Judgement day (1991) Jaw dropping 'morphing' is used. The robots humanoid texture was frighteningly real.
Cliffhanger (1993) Wires were digitally removed from a shot (no need for green screens!)
Jurassic park (1993) The digital dinos were a revalation, introduced CGI live animals with muscle movement etc.
Forest Gump (1994) Using Kodak's cineon system they went back in time, compositing Tom Hanks into historical clips.
The Perfect storm (2000) The water of the sea was very difficult as it is organic- to make it look believable is a big thing.
Lord of the Rings (2001) Generated crowds of thousands of people for battle scenes; artificially intelligent individuals "who amke their own decisions based on thier behaviour patterns".
The Polar express (2004) Used a large motion capture stage with over 200 hundred cameras to capture Tom Hanks performance, along with other characters. This helped to create digital characters.
The day after tomorrow (2004) Took more than 50,000 photos of New york city and scanned them into a computer to provide a 3D model of the city, that they could destroy.
