Production companies can use VFX to save costs, enhance realism, or fix mistakes without need for an expensive reshoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2d40ca74ff9f47e0b61bb1cbce8e7f3c\"><strong>CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery)<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-61d4750195a2d862593921f169bf4576\"><strong><br><\/strong>CGI is a type of VFX. It refers specifically to images or elements created entirely using computer software.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-507d588904309d7c5bd30ea792ef981e\">These could be detailed 3D models (like a spaceship), or more realistic enhancements (like a digitally generated building extension or crowd).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e2f0a8bffce4722ec4942f5ad4ffed40\">CGI blends seamlessly into live-action footage to make the unreal feel completely real. If you&#8217;ve ever watched a scene and not realised part of it was fake, that\u2019s some good CGI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Invisible to the naked CGI- Studio Insider interviews VFX artist Jacob Warr\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/maPgfp4t4vA?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5e88b9d1c7d741ac2166dc66c910c2ca\"><strong>SFX (Special Effects)<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ded1a996d592e83a309a58dedfc47f24\">SFX is where things get practical. Unlike VFX and CGI, SFX happens <em>on set<\/em> during filming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1b1305f6cd35a93b0ec6bd939cf19398\">This includes physical effects like smoke, rain machines, fake blood, pyrotechnics, or breakaway props. Think of it as the tangible side of TV illusions. SFX artists create the illusions that are captured with a camera rather than added in post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c5dbc0dc569a10e3694aa2f2aba368e3\"><strong>Clean-up Work<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e8c915306bbabaedd88f848644b4c5da\">On TV, a lot of, in fact maybe even <em>most of <\/em>&nbsp;the work is \u201cclean-up\u201d. Digitally erasing stray hairs, removing unwanted signs or logos, or fixing continuity errors (like a coffee cup left in the shot- yes, <em>that<\/em> one).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-19a82ebc1c66389b937c3de72d95b302\">Often preceded on set by a much dreaded: &#8216;we\u2019ll have to fix that in post&#8217;. It\u2019s the unsung hero of the production process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c91592586853301cbf66e219ad601d7f\"><strong>Compositing<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3e09157682266256e6649e9101d6b810\">This is the process of combining multiple visual elements into a single image.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-25dfe82b7ad9b7f7c58ae23829d7bf0f\">A scene might be filmed on green screen, then layered with a CGI background, practical SFX smoke, and colour correction; the compositor&#8217;s job is to ensure it all looks like one seamless scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3f82c4d93893768e263eb18853806d25\"><strong>Plate Shot<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f301c7aa2799ba5767fc773535a477fc\"><strong><br><\/strong>A \u201cplate\u201d is a clean shot- usually of a background- with no actors or movement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cfcf0b46359ccfbdebaebb4c0ee8b618\">It\u2019s used as a base layer for adding effects later, like duplicating actors, placing CGI elements, or fixing errors. If the director knows something will be added in post, a plate shot is often recorded just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-166440d98efa265b2b9568537772166e\"><strong>The Bottom Line?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9c57ae6a6f3000d67b4a2aa807046e41\">Not all digital magic is loud or flashy, in fact, most of what we see isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-01953ef4932b50ef40e259352f43c3af\">On a single episode of a VFX-heavy show (think <em>The Witcher<\/em>, <em>Stranger Things<\/em>, or <em>Doctor Who<\/em>) there could be <strong>20 to 200 VFX artists involved<\/strong>&#8211; including modellers, compositors, texture artists, rotoscope teams, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1ca75fd9b50d0ca92c56e1309939098d\">Their work keeps the magic alive- and you might never even notice it was there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you hear \u201cCGI\u201d or \u201cVFX,\u201d you might picture blockbuster-style explosions, flying dragons, or futuristic cityscapes.
