33. Introduction to VFX


VFX is generally understood as the combination of live-action footage and imagery created outside the context of a live action shot, such as computer-generated imagery (CGI). VFX shots range from basic image manipulation and compositing, integration of live action with CG to full CG environments, which look realistic. Visual Effects commonly aim to create photo-realistic believable images

The two most common VFX shot scenarios are Set-Extensions and CG Integration
