Description:


    Square Pictures’ “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within” defines the current state of the art in fully synthetic moviemaking. It breaks new ground by presenting a fully computer-rendered world populated not by insects, robots, or toys, but by realistic human characters who can act and directly involve the audience. Ambitious use of new modeling and procedural-animation methods, high-quality rendering, and new forms of special effects were combined with traditional character animation and innovative motion-capture technology to create a theater experience unlike anything movie audiences have seen before.
