Vfx Terminologies with Examples

• 2.
  • “Visual Effects"is referring to digital post-production and "special effects" referring to on-set mechanical effects and in-camera optical effects. • 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.
• 4.
  • Miniature setsand models, animatronics.
• 5.
  • Digital ortraditional paintings or photographs which serve as background plates for keyed or rotoscoped elements.
• 6.
  • Keying actorsor models through bluescreening and greenscreening.
• 7.
  • Modeling, computergraphics lighting, texturing, rigging, animating, and rendering computer-generated 3D characters, particle effects, digital sets, backgrounds.
• 9.
  • Is thecombining of visual elements from separate sources into single image, often to create the illusion that all those elements are parts of the same scene. • Takes real-life elements with Computer Generated (CG) Element and putting them together – seeming like they were shot together.
• 12.
  • Is atechnique for mixing two images or frames together in which a color (or a small color range) from one image is removed (or made transparent), revealing another image behind it. • Has two types: Blue screen & Green screen
• 15.
  • Is ananimation 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.
• 16.
  • This projectionequipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computers in recent years.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.
• 19.
  • It isthe application of computer graphics to create or contribute to images in art, printed media, video games, films, television programs, commercials, and simulators.
• 20.
  • The visualscenes 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.
• 23.
  • Is apainted representation of a landscape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers to create the illusion of an environment that is non-existent in real life or would otherwise be too expensive or impossible to build or visit.
• 26.
  • This techniqueis used in virtually all animation systems where simplified user interfaces allows animators to control often complex algorithms.
• 27.
  • Skeletal animationis 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.
• 30.
  • The termis 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. • Motion capture (MOCAP) is an effective 3D animation tool for realistically capturing human motion .
