2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) VS. Lil Dicky – Earth (2019)

This comparison is the difference computer generated imagery (CGI) has made in modern film. First we see an example of a scene from 1968 where they filmed monkeys for the opening scene of A Space Odyssey, and the second is a music video for an artist Lil Dicky. He takes us through all of the ecosystems on earth trying to persuade people to protect its beauty by showing all the animals we live with. His video is completely computer generated once he gets into his story time about the world, and it really shows off the possibilities of CGI. While the animals in his videos are not the best example of CGI it shows how much more can be done with CGI rather than previous filming techniques. When you watch the monkey scene from 1968 it is kind of funny just for the reason that you can tell the monkeys are just people wearing the suits. So from these two examples the monkey scene was the best of its time and the music video Earth is more of just a comedy video, which is more entertaining to watch from my opinion.
