CGI / Visual Effects created for Terminator 2: Judgment Day

[Paul]

This is a video piece about the visual effects and CGI that ILM produced for Terminator 2: Judgment Day.



I thought it was really interesting. Also, the effects were not only mind-blowing in 1991, but still hold up great today... which is funny considering how some modern CGI looks so terrible.

Well, part of it is that they blended in practical effects with CGI and few shots were purely CGI.

That's true. Stan Winston (and his studio) did really great practical effects for their "part" of the overall effects.
