With all the bad CGI we see in movies it can seem like there’s nothing that CGI can do that practical can’t do better. Of course there is a lot of good CGI out there and when its seamless! Take this amazing CGI rendering of the intro to the Classic HBO horror series Tales from the Crypt! I have to say that it improves on the original by creating much more realistic weather effects and texturing than what was in the original version which was a combination of Miniatures and puppetry.

Created by a team of FX artists including Peinoit Damien – Director / Producer / CG Artist – peinoit-damien.fr/ Adel Benabdallah – Director / Producer / CG Artist – adelben.com/ Toufik Mekbel – FX Artist – toufx.com/ Omar Meradi – Fx Artist – vimeo.com/meradi

I have to say its better than the original and they should just use this for a new TV series and call it a day! For Comparison here’s the original Intro from the Series
