NEW YORK (AP) -- "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" is full of visions of the dark, soaring New York cityscape, dogfights in the sky and the majestic Himalayan mountains. But what was the movie set like for the actors?

A whole lotta blue.

That's because "Sky Captain," despite its grandiose appearance, was filmed entirely against a blue screen with digital effects filled in. Though real actors star in it, almost everything else is fake. Think "Roger Rabbit" in reverse.

While computer generated imagery has for years been a large presence in movies, "Sky Captain" is the first major motion picture made entirely digitally with living, breathing actors. Only what they touch is tangible.

Considering the length of time saved in production of this movie and the continuing decline of cost of computer tech and Cgi graphics Sky captain may be the first, but it certainly won't be the last alll CGI movie. Next step, digital actors?
