CGI

This clip is the same video as the previous one except whereas the other was live action , this is CGI... the first clip was the original Resident Evil (1996) but the second is of the 2003 remake... it shows that although actors could easily have been used to create another live action opening, Capcom (the games creators) decided to use computer technology to make the introduction... Why?...It could simply be that Capcom wanted to show that they were up to date with technology as this was the early 21st century everyone was playing around with new ways of creating and developing exciting visual effects for an audience, it certainly would not have been because it was cheaper as a CGI clip would surly cost more than a short live intro, or it could be that Capcom had the belief that a computer generated introduction would look more "rounded" and fit in better with the rest of the game... I would consider creating a CGI opening but I feel I would struggle as I do not have a massive amount of technology which could help me do so.
