COMPUTER-GENERATED IMAGERY (CGI)

COMPUTER-GENERATED IMAGERY
What is CGI or Computer-generated imagery?
Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is used in many movies. Japan has used CGI in many of their movie and drama series. They also used it (CGI) in anime. That make Japan movie, drama series and anime are special. But as the simple example, I like to take one of the famous television series from Japan called Kamen Rider Kabuto Series. In this series, CGI are very using full to give more real effect when audience watches this series.

The first form is called the Masked Form (armored) which excels in power and defensive abilities. Then the rider can cast off and change to the Rider Form. This form excels in speed and can unleash the power in the belt as a Rider Kick. The enemy is extra-terrestrial life forms, Worm. They can take the form of humans and are already on Earth. Kabuto’s weapon is the Kabuto-Kunai-Gun. This has a gun kunai and axe mode. Kabuto’s belt is the Kabuto-Zecter. Computer-generated imagery (CGI) can seen used when the Kamen Rider want to change or henshin. CGI technique also used in battle time and used weapons. Also used when Kamen Rider ride their special motorcycle.
