It’s show time! You bring the popcorn — and the willingness to look behind the silver screen, as it were. DigitalDomain is a special effects company that’s been part of a host of movies you’ve seen, and probably more ads than you wished. It works magic with bits and bytes and shows you how they’re integrated with the rest of the scene’s analog (i.e. real) actors and scenery. It’s all here — in movies, natch.

It probably makes most sense to start by viewing the “Company” reel, which contains a montage of what DD has done. And then you can use the menu to zero in on the flic tech that most interest you — vehicles, environment, matte painting… (Warning: there’s a sound track, so if you’re still at work you may wish to turn off your speakers.)

Hey, those are my Nibs.
