Visual Effects
Visual Effects Visual effects are the various processes by which imag ery is created and/or manipulated outside the context o f alive action shot. Visual effects involve the integration oflive-actionfoota ge and generated imagery to create environments whic h look realistic which is impossible to capture on film. Visual effects usingcomputer generated imageryhas re cently become accessible to the independent filmmaker with the introduction of affordable and user friendlyani mationandcompositingsoftware. VFX can be categorize into : Compositing,Matte Paintin g,Animation,Lighting,Texture,Rigging.
CGI-Computer Generated Imagery
It is the application ofcomputer graphicsto create or c ontribute to images inart,printed media,video games, films,television programs,commercials, andsimulator s. The visual scenes may be dynamic or static, and may be two-dimensional (2D), though the term "CGI" is most co mmonly used to refer to3D computer graphicsused for creating scenes orspecial effectsin films and television. Computergraphics softwareis used to make computergenerated imagery for films, professional-grade films, g ames, and fine art from their home computers.
Rotoscoping Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animat ors trace over live-action film movement, frame by fram e, for use in animated films. Originally, pre-recorded live-action film images were pr ojected onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an a nimator. This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, althoug h this device has been replaced by computers in recent years. In the visual effects industry, the term rotoscopin g refers to the technique of manually creating a matte f or an element on a live-action plate so it may be compo sited over another background.
Rotoscoping
Compositing It is the combining of visual elements from separate so urces into single image, often to create the illusion that all those elements are parts of the same scene Compositing is taking real-life elements with Computer Generated (CG) Element and putting them together - so they seem like they were shot together. Live-actionshooting for compositing is variously called "chroma key", "blue screen", "green screen" and other names. Today, most, though not all, compositing is achi eved throughdigital imagemanipulation.
Compositing
Matte Painting Amatte paintingis a painted representation of a landsc ape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers to cr eate the illusion of an environment that is nonexistent i n real life or would otherwise be too expensive or impo ssible to build or visit. Historically, matte painters and film technicians have us ed various techniques to combine a matte-painted imag e with live-action footage. At its best, depending on the skill levels of the artists and technicians, the effect is "se amless" and creates environments that would otherwis e be impossible to film. In the scenes the painting part is static and movements are integrated on it.
Matte Painting
Rigging Skeletal animationis a technique incomputer animation in which a character is represented in two parts: a surfac e representation used to draw the character (calledskin ormesh) and a hierarchical set of interconnected bones (called theskeletonorrig) used to animate the mesh.W hile this technique is often used to animate humans or m ore generally for organic modeling. This technique is used in virtually all animation systems where simplified user interfaces allows animators to con trol often complex algorithms .However, the intention of the technique is never to imitate real anatomy or physica l processes, but only to control the deformation of the m esh data.
Rigging
Motion Capturing Motion capture (MOCAP) is an effective 3D animation to ol for realistically capturing human motion . Incinematography,match movingis acinematic techn iquethat allows the insertion of computer graphics into live-actionfootage with correct position, scale, orientati on, and motion relative to the photographed objects in t he shot. The term is used loosely to describe several different m ethods of extracting cameramotioninformation from a motion picture. Sometimes referred to asmotion track ingorcamera solving, match moving is related toroto scopingandphotogrammetry.
