Behind the Scenes of Narnia's Special Effects

louismg writes "Walt Disney Pictures' Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe took in more than $100 million at the box office worldwide in its opening weekend, riding the back of special effects powering nearly all the movie's characters, from the lion Aslan to the Gryphon, Minotaur, Centaurs and more. VFXWorld has a series of diaries with the technology geeks at Rhythm & Hues behind the special effects. (Part 1, 2) For the fantasy film's special effects, Rhythm & Hues teamed up with Industrial Light and Magic and Sony Pictures Imageworks to deliver more than 1,400 shots for the film, and used cutting-edge technology from BlueArc, NVIDIA and others to keep the effects' production running."

Re:I remember trying to read a C.S. Lewis book

I'm still trying to find the part in your post where you take some bit of responsibility for your inability to read anything longer than a blurb. I see you pointing the finger at your teachers, the government, and a medical problem. But nowhere in there do you actually take it on yourself to learn to do something that might be a bit difficult...Pathetic!

You may be too blinded by hate to see that you are every bit as bad as what you claim this guy to be.

True, true. Back when *I* swindled my hard working employees out of millions of dollars, I also taunted them afterwards.

1) The "other stories" you are being told are being told badly, or are just plain wrong. God does not approve all articles before publication.
2) The "other stories" you are being told reveal things in yourself that you are not prepared to deal with yet.
3) You understand the greater story, and simply wish to align yourself with evil instead of good.

That's been my life's story anyway. It always seems to come down to one of those three things.

You have a rather simplistic, and shallow, life.
