...protean forms were achieved through a computer technique called digital compositing. The technique breaks a film image down into a complex numerical code that a computer can manipulate in nearly endless ways, thus altering the image. To change the T-1000 from a robot to its human form, ILM employed a process nicknamed Morph, as in metamorphosis, first developed in 1988 for the film Willow. Footage of the robot and footage of actor Robert Patrick were coded and fed into the computer, which blended one into the other. The illusion of walking through steel bars was created by another pioneering...

Crime, no crime -- the distinction vanishes in undifferentiated wailing and rage. The machine screams. The quality of life within earshot dies a little more...
When Berry took office in January, he said his game plan was simple: give his customers the most quality options of food as possible. And since Harvard higher-ups' only restriction on Berry is that he stay within a $20 million budget, he says that there's an endless amount of creativity to be tapped...
