Grasp the Power of VFX
The Media and Entertainment industry has enabled the VFX sector to achieve greater heights. Visual Effects are often integral to a movie's story and appeal and allow creators and filmmakers to make breathtaking imaginary universes and ahcieve stunts that would be impossible to film in the realworld. Whether it's creating massive destruction scenes or expading the scope of production, early every film now requires visual effects for support. VFX has a fluid and overlapping pipeline, depending on teh storyline of the content being created. For ease of understanding it is classified into 3 stages:
Pre-Production starts with the pre-visualisation or Pre-viz of the story. An integral part of every VFX shoot is the guide during live shoots, for frames and shots. Pre-viz involves story ideation, scriptwriting, storyboarding, animatics, initial concept art, character design, BG design and the colour key for look development.
After pre-production, live shoots of the scenes are done using film making techniques. The production stage also includes integrating Computer Generated(CG) characters, background and effects that blend with live action. CG production consists of 3D modelling, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, rendering and FX. The production also involves shooting High-dynamic-range Images (HDR) to create image-based lighting for 'CG-live Action' integration.
Post shooting, rotoscopy and clean-up (wire/object removal, etc.) is done for each frame. Going forward, with accurate camera tracking, the matching of the live action camera along with a CG camera is carried out. Artists then create the frames and backgrounds for the final output. Here, with matte painting, the artists replace the background and then blend it together through compositing so that all the visuals from the live-action and CG come together to create a photorealistic output.
