VFX
VFX (Visual Effects) is the process by which imagery is created or manipulated outside the context of a live action shot in filmmaking.
Why VFX?
Finally, visual effects allowed a director to turn a story to their artistic potential with the freedom. It’s imagination to create anything and everything for a director. By adding locations, and setting stunts etcetera, visual effects give the films a cutting edge. The movies that use the software for visual effects typically top the list at box offices. Nonetheless, VFX is not very affordable for all film makers.
Visual effects involve the integration of live action footage (special effects) and generated imagery (digital or optical effects) to create environments, inanimate objects, animals or creatures which look realistic, but would be dangerous, expensive, impractical, time consuming or impossible to capture on film. Visual effects using computer-generated imagery (CGI) have recently become accessible to the independent filmmaker with the introduction of affordable and easy-to-use animation and compositing software.
