Research Summary

Visual effects services refer to the creation, manipulation, and integration of computer-generated imagery (CGI) and digital effects into live-action footage to enhance the visual storytelling of films, television shows, commercials, and other forms of media.

Visual effects services encompass a wide range of techniques, including compositing, motion tracking, 3D modeling, animation, matte painting, particle effects, and simulation of natural phenomena such as fire, water, and smoke. VFX artists work closely with directors, producers, and other members of the creative team to achieve the desired aesthetic and narrative goals of a project, often collaborating with teams of artists and technicians to deliver high-quality visual effects on time and within budget.
