The Host, Jurassic Park, and More.

Green and slimy, the kind of monster everyone loves. The film The Host has some really impressive and clean special effects. The animatronics in the film were very interesting, watching the producers/animators match the camera moves seemed complex. This film was one of the first to actually reveal the "monster" in many scenes, instead of keeping that mysterious procrastination that is exhausted in horror films. Due to the fact that the "monster" was being displayed so frequently required precision in all aspects of CG. In regards to precision, Jurassic Park captures the spotlight and sets the stage for modern films. The “Dinosaur Input Device” (or DID) is a small mechanical replica that can be used to record movements of the joints and other physical actions. After the DID is used they get the recorded information from the computer and edit/alter. “The action of a model figure is no longer limited, camera movement is no longer restricted; computers can graft one image onto another without any problems of registration, focus or matching positions or speed within a frame.” It is amazing to look back in history at pieces like “The Execution of Mary” and “A Trip to the Moon” in comparison with what we have accomplished today.
