    Reading
    Read the passage and make a note of any new words you find

    Have you ever seen something unreal or fantastical in a movie and New Words
    wondered, “How do they do that?” When watching a Marvel movie,
    have you wondered how characters like the Hulk and Thanos can
    appear on screen with other, real actors? Well the reason these
    wonderful images can appear in front of us is becauseof something
    called Computer Generated Images or CGI for short. Directors have
    been putting CGI into movies for a long time, and each year the
    quality and detail gets better and better.

    The first example of a computer-generated image in a movie was in


    1973. The movie Westworld used computer (A) to show how the
    world looks from the point of view of a robot. Perhaps the most
    notable example of great early CGI comes from Steven Spielberg’s
    Jurassic Park in 1993. Mixing both practical and digital effects
    allowed this movie to still be remembered as one of the best
    examples of using CGI well in a live-action movie.

    The animators who create the CGI work tirelessly for weeks and
    months slowly building the digital effects that will go into the newest
    blockbuster movies. They start with a basic model, then they add
    textures and finer details, and after that they fine tune the
    movements and animations of their CGI creations. The process can
    be very time-consuming. Often, the animators must work long hours
    to make sure their effects are ready to be inserted into the newest
    high-profile movies.
