The most creative use of CGI effects EVER

[Calhoun07]

Forget Harry Potter and LOTR, I just saw the most creative use of CGI ever! Check this:

Ok, Julie Andrews was like 30 something back when Mary Poppins came out about 40 years ago, so we all know she's around as old as Dick Van Dyke, but here she is on the cover of Princess Diaries looking just as old as she did in Mary Poppins. HOW DID THEY DO THAT?? Forget Jar Jar and other CGI effects, this has got to be the most amazing digital trickery I have ever seen!

And who is she fooling?

Hey, don't forget in the latest Michael Jackson benefit special thingy, the skeletal-thin Whitney Houston was digitally manipulated to look like a normal human being...

Actually calhoun07, for the PRINCESS DIARIES cover, they used something called "airbrushing" which allows painters to use paint (or computers) to wipe away and cover any blemishes. No CGI involved.

As for the Michael Jackson concert, it was said that Jackson himself was tinted darker so he wouldn't look as pale. And Houston's sweat was also digitally erased.

Yeah, they always do that for models and girly magazine covers.

I always joke that if I can't find a job, I can always go into that business. :p

And how long would you be able to do that before you snapped? :p

I am wondering if they likewise use such digital trickery in the actual Princess Diaries movie to make Julie Andrews look so young? I am not going to watch it to actually find out, but I will wonder.

As far as I know, she just looks like that. She takes car eof her skin and/or gets facial surgery. I saw a MOVIE SURFERS thingie on the movie when I was flipping through channels and she look just like she did in the movie.

She probably got plastic surgery and stuff done, it's unbelievable what plastic surgeons can do.

Thre was this article about a woman who got ran over by a car, and she was unrecognizable and her lips and ears, etc. were mushed up into a pulp. Her husband took one look at her and abandoned her. Then this plastic surgeon came and repaired her face using skin cells from other parts of her body, and it took thousands of individual surgeries. He basically remodeled her face into that of a supermodel and then married her.

Air brushing is gude!

Hellooooooooooo, nurse! ;)

Meh. I could airbrush my photos, but since all my friends go to my webpage and see them, I'd get heck from them ^_^' Although I do usually put scanned photos through "auto-levels" and make the colors brighter.

hahahaha...That picture is very deceptive..I'm nowhere near that goodlooking...(assuming you think the guy in the picture is goodlooking)

That was my casual Senior picture, taken about 4-5 years ago....
I didn't airbrush it (it was paid for..life is gude) and wouldn't know how if I had too...

What are auto-levels?

I barely managed to get the bloody thing scanned
