Visual Effects

Visual Effects are a process of methods using computer graphic imagery (CGI) to integrate onto footage of either animation or live action to give it an enhancement. For this module, I will be exploring the different digital experiments which are appropriate for using.

This module will consist of four tasks. 

Task 1: Basic creative problem solving with stock footage, 5 - 10 seconds (Weeks 1 - 2)

Task 2: Chroma keying and compositing 5 - 10 seconds (Weeks 3 - 5)

Task 3: Dynamics 5 - 10 seconds (Weeks 6 - 8)

Tasks 4: Personal project, 10 -20 seconds (Weeks 9 - 12)

Here's an example of early visual effects used. King Kong is stop motioned and was done in front of a black screen to super impose a different image.



Here is another example of early use of visual effects used in the 1900s.
