2 posts total: 1 post each on 2 readings from Weeks 2 and 3. Choose from the following readings: Prince, Digital Visual Effects (on Jurassic Park); Prince, “True Lies;” Rodowick; and Seymour. Due 4 pm Sunday, Oct 17.

Late reflections will be accepted for two weeks from the initial deadline, until Oct 31, but the later the post, the greater the deduction. Late posts will be graded at the end of the quarter.

You may post on any ideas in the readings that strike you in relation to specific scenes in Jurassic Park, the long take in Hugo, or the lecture. Remember that unlike the ICWs, the readings are the focus of the reading reflections, not the films, so referring to the films is optional. Possible topics include: the most important ingredients of perceptual realism; differences between perceptual and profilmic or referential realism; the significance of combining live actors, practical effects, and CGI; or whether the digitally-simulated long take in Hugo achieves perceptual realism.

please read those two article.
