You might have seen movies with great visual effects and heard people say “The visual effects were incredible!”, but what exactly are VFX and how do they work? In this post, I am going to give you a rough analysis of the possibilities that visual effects can offer, then we will go into more detail in the next posts.
According to VEX Directory:
Visual effects - commonly shortened to Visual FX or VFX, is the concept used to describe any imagery created, or enhanced for a film or other moving media that cannot be adept during live action shooting. In other words, much of the art of VFX takes place in post-production, after primary image capture is complete. VFX can be added to live-action, captured through techniques such as matte painting, rear and front-screen projection, miniature or forced perspective sets, computer graphic objects, characters, and environments, compositing of images recorded in any number of ways. The recent explosion in digital tools that make perfect compositing, digital sets and fully computer-generated characters possible and accessible to moving image makers at all levels has made VFX a standard part of every moving image maker’s tool kit.
Wikipedia says:
“VFX involve the integration of live-action footage and generated imagery to create environments which look realistic, but would be expensive or simply impossible to capture on film. VFX- Visual effects using computer generated imagery has recently become accessible to the Independent filmmaker with the introduction of affordable animation and compositing software.
So basically, anything that is difficult for movie then we use visual effects to achieve it. For example, aliens attacking the earth is impossible to movie so we use VFX for all the alien creatures to destroy the city. This is a very undoubtedly example of visual effects. A lot of time we use VFX in more subtle areas. For example, if there is a scene in the story that needs to be in another country, an imaginary location or a city in the future or past. It is just inefficiency to go to another country or build a set. VFX in these situation are really helpful.
A lot of visual effects examples will be discussed in the future posts. Here we just need to have a rough concept of what visual effects is about and why we use it for Movies.
