The benefits of CG

Compared with traditional animation, CG animation is very efficient. First of all, in CG animation itself, we saved some expenses. An animated film, if an ordinary traditional animation company has about 3,000 to 4,000 employees, the monthly output can reach 200, which is amazing. Of course, this ignores the input of manpower and material resources. CG animation, on the other hand, does not need a lot of paper, and is almost entirely made by computers, which saves physical costs and is also beneficial to environmental protection. Because the production of CG animation is not as many processes as traditional animation, and the speed is much faster than traditional animation. It usually takes two years to finish a movie.

Secondly, in terms of income, the film income of CG animation is also considerable. Take Toy Story 2 as an example, the global box office revenue is 485 million US dollars, and Taishan is 435 million US dollars. Shrek even made $528.9 million at the box office. It is conceivable that CG animated film has become the most profitable film type in Hollywood.

Of course, CG "very efficient" and "very economical" are not necessarily accurate and cannot be generalized. Because the production cost of CG animation realism is very high. For example, if you want to shoot a curtain fluttering gently in the sun or a leaf falling with the wind, I'm afraid it's much more convenient and cheaper to shoot a scene than to make the same effect with CG; But if you want to take a panoramic view of a scene of thousands of people, CG is definitely more cost-effective. Therefore, if CG technology is used flexibly, it will bring endless benefits only in film and television.
