Movie Brain Manipulation Stuff

  The article was fairly short and to the point. It discussed a butch of confusing sciencey stuff about machines measuring where people look when watching Iron Man 2, it showed that peoples' line of sight was following the action of the scene consistently. The interviewed filmmaker later mentioned that the most of the stuff outside the viewers' focus was CGI. Stuff like the faces and car parts were real however. He said that the blending was possible because the brain would actually do a lot of the work. He also said that certain things just can't be done with CGI, like faces and the random pattern of  debris hitting the ground. This fits well with animation since it all depends on the brain filling in gaps to make a swift motion. I find it interesting that they used practical effect for the flying car parts, despite virtually everything else being CGI. While I wish there was more practical effects used, I can appreciate that some filmmakers understand that what people focus on shouldn't be a fake rendition of something.
