2. • Visual effects are the various processes by which
imagery is created and/or manipulated outside the
context of a live action shot.
• Visual effects involve the integration of live-
action footage and generated imagery to create
environments which look realistic which is impossible
to capture on film.
• Visual effects using computer generated imagery has
recently become accessible to the independent
filmmaker with the introduction of affordable and user
friendly animation and compositing software.
• VFX can be categorize into : Compositing, Matte
Painting, Animation, Lighting, Texture, Rigging.

3. • It is the application of computer graphics to create or
contribute to images in art, printed media, video
games, films, television programs, commercials,
and simulators.
• The visual scenes may be dynamic or static, and may be
two-dimensional (2D), though the term "CGI" is most
commonly used to refer to 3D computer graphics used
for creating scenes or special effects in films and
television.
• Computer graphics software is used to make computer-
generated imagery for films, professional-grade films,
games, and fine art from their home computers.

4. • Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which
animators trace over live-action film movement, frame
by frame, for use in animated films.
• Originally, pre-recorded live-action film images were
projected onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an
animator.
• This projection equipment is called a rotoscope,
although this device has been replaced by computers in
recent years. In the visual effects industry, the term
rotoscoping refers to the technique of manually creating
a matte for an element on a live-action plate so it may be
composited over another background.

6. • It is the combining of visual elements from separate
sources 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-action shooting for compositing is variously called
"chroma key", "blue screen", "green screen" and other
names. Today, most, though not all, compositing is
achieved through digital image manipulation.

8. • A matte painting is a painted representation of a
landscape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers
to create the illusion of an environment that is
nonexistent in real life or would otherwise be too
expensive or impossible to build or visit.
• Historically, matte painters and film technicians have
used various techniques to combine a matte-painted
image with live-action footage. At its best, depending on
the skill levels of the artists and technicians, the effect is
"seamless" and creates environments that would
otherwise be impossible to film.
• In the scenes the painting part is static and movements
are integrated on it.

10. • Skeletal animation is a technique in computer
animation in which a character is represented in two
parts: a surface representation used to draw the character
(called skin or mesh) and a hierarchical set of
interconnected bones (called the skeleton or rig) used to
animate the mesh. While this technique is often used to
animate humans or more generally for organic modeling.
• This technique is used in virtually all animation systems
where simplified user interfaces allows animators to
control often complex algorithms .However, the intention
of the technique is never to imitate real anatomy or
physical processes, but only to control the deformation of
the mesh data.

12. • Motion capture (MOCAP) is an effective 3D animation
tool for realistically capturing human motion .
• In cinematography, match moving is a cinematic
technique that allows the insertion of computer graphics
into live-action footage with correct position, scale,
orientation, and motion relative to the photographed
objects in the shot.
• The term is used loosely to describe several different
methods of extracting camera motion information from
a motion picture. Sometimes referred to as motion
tracking or camera solving, match moving is related
to rotoscoping and photogrammetry.
