''Star Wars: Episode I'' has one of the best CGI scenes
INNOVATION The all-digital live-action movie. Some 1,965 of the movie's 2,200 shots were digitally assisted, not just for special effects scenes, but ordinary editing tasks, like changing an actor's gestures or expressions. ''Nobody else is doing this yet except in some commercials,'' coeditor Martin Smith said at the time. ''In 10 years, most film editors will be.'' Try five years.
MEMORABLE MOMENT The visit to the luminous underwater city of the Gungans
POSITIVE IMPACT Paved the way for Sky Captain's digital world
NEGATIVE IMPACT Director George Lucas seemed to focus on the visuals at the expense of the story and the performances.
