ILM Now Capable of Realtime CGI
Sandman1971 writes "According to the Sydney Morning Herald, specialFX company ILM is now capable of doing realtime CGI, allowing actors and directors to see rough CGI immediately after a scene is filmed. Actors on the latest Star Wars film watch instant replays of their battles with CG characters. ILM CTO Cliff Plumer attributes this amazing leap to the increase in processing power and a migration from using Silicon Graphics RISC-Unix workstations to Intel-based Dell systems running Linux."

They're ACTORS, their job is to fucking handle distractions and make it look good. They are distracted on all sides by techies doing THEIR jobs, they're taking direction from the directors, they're hitting focus marks over and over again and they're crying on fucking cue.
That was classic intercourse!
