More CGI Magic…’Boardwalk Empire’
As promised, here is more on the amazing ability editors now have with Computer Generated Imagery. Period shows like HBO’s ‘Boardwalk Empire’ have to take a great deal of care to keep the 1920s look intact and free from modern skylines and backgrounds, but that’s only half of the challenge. The other half is turning the clock back by recreating historic landscapes and even period appropriate ships. Take a look and marvel as the impossible becomes possible before your very eyes. Enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

This is CGI at it’s best for TV
The outdoor scenes were shot at the Brooklyn Navy Yard within sight of the skyline of Manhattan. Nearly every shot of the boardwalk seen in the show was treated with visual effects to cover the modern New York City skyline as originally photographed in the background.
