After being held at gunpoint by my own girlfriend, I finally caved and took her to see the latest installment of Harry Potter. The Half-Blood Prince was the subtitle to be exact. Any how, much to my surprise, there was a lot of 3D work in this movie. In fact, there was a lot of 3D work done from the magical wands to the mythological creatures created by casting spells. I really took an interest because of the C4D program we are currently using in class. So, with the right amount of practice...it would only take me 10 to 15 years to complete. LoL. 

After we left the theater I immediately bombarded her with questions about camera switches, back lighting and how realistic the 3D work really was. I must give credit to the animators involved with the production of the film. Very realistically animated characters attacked  Harry and the wizard towards the end of the film. I could not even tell that they were digital images. The textures were awesome as well as the actual animation itself. With that being said, I suggest this movie to any animator looking for ideas or inspiration. I know that I was inspired. I also made my girlfriend happy, so it was worth it.
