What is VFX

• Visual Effects (abbreviated VFX) is the process
  by which imagery is created or manipulated
  outside the context of a live action shot in film
  making.
• Visual effects involve in the integration of
  live-action footage (special effects) and
  generated imagery (digital effects) to create
  environments 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.

Categories

• Visual effects primarily divides into two groups
  of

• Special Effects It covers any visual effects
  that take place in live action, e.g. on set
  explosions or stunt performances.
• Digital Effects (commonly shortened to digital FX
  or FX) It covers the various processes by which
  imagery is created or manipulated with or from
  photographic assets. Digital Effects often
  involve the integration of still photography and
  computer-generated imagery (CGI) to create
  environments which look realistic but would be
  dangerous, costly, or impossible to capture in
  camera. FX is usually associated with the still
  photography world in contrast to visual effects
  which is associated with motion film production.

Digital FX also divides into different subgroups
of professions such as

• Matte paintings and stills digital or
  traditional paintings or photographs which serve
  as background plates for 3D characters, particle
  effects, digital sets, backgrounds.
• Motion Capture (Mo-Cap for short) Its the
  process of recording the movements of objects and
  or people. In a session of motion capture, the
  subject whose motion is being captured is
  recorded and sampled many times per second by
  different scanners placed all over the
  environment.

There are different types of systems that read
the actors movement.

• optical method that uses tracking cameras that
  lock onto specialized markers placed over the
  actors motion capture suit.
• The other type of method is called the
  non-optical method where instead of capturing the
  markers location in space, it recorders and
  measures the inertia and mechanical motion in the
  area.
• Modeling Creating 3D models of props or
  characters using specialized software.
• Animation Assign movements for any objects and
  characters in 2D or 3D.
• Compositing Combining visual elements from
  different sources to create the illusion that all
  those elements are parts of the same scene.
