VR to Revolutionize Movies
Computer Generated Imagery is still distinguishable from what is real. But with the advancement of this technology, determining what’s real and what CGI is makes it harder and harder. As a matter of fact, there are times that a whole movie set and environments on-screen can be purely CGI. And the surprising thing is that most people don’t notice them.
For movie makers, CPI is one of the most important things to consider. It is because utilizing CGI environments in the near future might become as easy as choosing an asset that is already produced for a previous purpose. What they only need to do is to find the right one that can perfectly fit the scene.
The apparent result of this is that movie producers will no longer have to film anything. Even the need for human characters if they decide to make a completely CGI generated characters. The upcoming Lion King remake actually implement this concept and it is a huge thanks to Virtual Reality.

The new Lion King Movie is not just a film about VR nor animals that look like cartoons. Well, that’s what most people talk about when they pertain to Lion King.

Now, people are getting excited about it. Aside from that, the use of VR for movie production is another way to make things easier for production artists.
