Most of that article concerning the evolution of digital compositing software didn't really do much for me other than realizing that I have a copy of Autodesk Combustion and that was one that it mentioned toward the end. I'll have to install and play with that at some point in the semester (assuming I ever get this stupid lightsaber looking real enough).
Those camera's are pretty wicked, but being someone who will never film anything (hell, I don't even own a digital camera for simple snapshots), it didn't mean much to me either.
That video about Cloverfield, however, was amazing. Some of those shots where the monster is destroying a building and they show the model they made in Maya, how detailed it was, and just watching it crumble like that... that would take sooo long... I have a hard time seeing myself ever able to make something like that... I really need to step up what I try to make. Also getting my hands on some training dvds from gnomon would probably be a great place to start since I learn much better when I am shown step by step visualy rather than just reading it. Anyway... totally amazing what people can make, I want to be able to do that.
