From the dawn of cinema, filmmakers have constantly sought ways to make their visions come alive on screen. In the past, practical effects and camera tricks were the norm. But as technology progressed, the film industry witnessed the rise of Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI).
This revolutionary tool, which began gaining traction in the late 20th century, has since reshaped the cinematic landscape. Films like “Jurassic Park” not only introduced audiences to realistic digital dinosaurs but also showcased the boundless potential of CGI.

Alongside CGI, the use of green screens has become an indispensable tool in modern filmmaking. Green screens allow directors to superimpose actors onto virtual backgrounds, creating scenes that range from epic space battles to serene fantasy landscapes. This technique, combined with CGI, provides filmmakers with unparalleled creative freedom, enabling them to weave stories that were once deemed unattainable.
Beyond just visual spectacle, these tools enhance storytelling, allowing for a richer, more immersive cinematic experience.
