CGI so good you don't see it

Nice FX!

From JoBlo.com:
This video clip just blew me away. I seriously had no idea that there was so much CGI in David Fincher's ZODIAC. I guess Finch really didn't need to go out and find/create backdrops that looked like San Fransisco in the 70s. Check out the following clip to see just how much of the background was real, and how much was just a bunch of sh*t the tech dudes added later.

Crazy, huh? Sure, it's not Shia LaBeouf acting with an enormous imaginary robot head, but this is pretty sick too. The big blue screen has to be a little distracting, doesn't it? Anyway, this is a pretty cool little insight for all of you interested in film-making.

(Checking to see when Transformers comes out on DVD... ahh, yes, October 16, 2007)
