Re: 300 and computer-generated graphics.

Not by a longshot

All of it.

None of it.

Not even close.

Those are the most fair comparisons. The movie was shot on sound stages with actual practical sets and live actors with blue screens and green screens for the extended backgrounds. anything that was tangable for the actors was physical. a lot of the live action was digitally composited but it was composites of things that were actually shot on film in the flesh so to speak. There were some CGI elephants and a rhino. There was a CGI scene of ships crashing on the rocks in a massive storm. Some of the Persian masses seen from a great distance were all CGI. Some of the physical wounds in battle were a combination of live action and CGI composityes such as decapitations and other live action physical damage. The "look" of the film was created digitally but was in effect like a film process where contrast was crushed to blow out the hilights, blacked the deep shadows, desaturate the color and skew the spectrum toward yellow for day and blue for night. Oh and the enlaged eye of the hunchback was digitally animated. He was otherwise an actor in a suit and prosthetic makeup.
