What is VFX:  Live Example and Why You Should Choose a Career in VFX


What is VFX:  Wikipedia gives a fantastic definition for VFX, “Visual effects (VFX) are the various processes by which imagery is created and/or manipulated outside the context of a live action shoot. Visual effects involve the integration of footage and generated imagery to create environments which look realistic, but would be dangerous, costly, or simply impossible to capture on film.”

Live Example (from recently released Special 26 film):  See the Following Video

Now let’s see the following 4-minute film (Special 26 VFX Breakdown):

As you can see, with the use of VFX:
1. They got Akshay Kumar and the heroine to sit in the studio but showed as if they are sitting beside a sea.  It saves a huge amount of saving in terms of transportation, logistics, etc.
2. They have created a flight with VFX.  Therefore, the team did not have to hire an airplane and the team did not have to take the trouble of going to an airport.
3. With the use of VFX, they have built and enhanced sets – again a huge saving!
4. They have created ambience by adding Ambassador taxis, etc.  Thus any old-time, current, or futuristic movie making become easier with VFX.

Why You Should Choose a Career In VFX:

1. It’s growing and needs many people to work in this field.
