Visual Effects Course in Dehradun – Doon Digital Gurukul

VFX refers to the procedure of creating imagery using live action captured with film making. Visual effects deal with the consolidation of real-life footage and computer-generated imagery (CGI) to make situations, which looks sensible; however, would be risky, costly, unrealistic, tiresome or challenging to shoot on film. Visual effects created with the help of software are available for the movie makers, thanks to the development of cost-effective and simple to use computer software programs.

VFX is generally planned correctly in the pre-production period of making a film or a motion picture. It is performed in the production or the post-production period of the movie or the motion picture in the latter days. Well, in most cases, the VFX is done in the post-production period. The VFX supervisor is the person who makes the flow of the work very smooth, whether it is the live-action shoot or the post-production work performed by the visual artists.

Categories of VFX 

The visual effects or the VFX can be categorized into several steps according to its working or technique. Let us discuss how the VFX works straightforwardly and synchronously.

• Matte Painting: This is a process of painted representation of landscape, set, or any distant location that is incorporated into the set of a film by creating an illusion, according to the filmmaker.
• Animation: We all know that animation is the process of viewing or creating objects and their movement in two-dimensional or three-dimensional
• Motion Capturing: This is a 3D animation tool used to record the movement of objects or people. It is widely used in entertainment, military, sports, robotics, medical applications, and many other validating sectors.
• Rigging: This is also known as skeletal animation. This is not used in imitating physical processes or natural anatomy but is eventually a process of controlling the twisting of the mesh data.
• Composting: This is a process through which the real-life elements interact with the computer-generated images to portray them together as if they were shot together.
• CGI: CGI or Computer Generated Images is an application through which you can create or contribute to images in art, printed media, simulators, computer animation, video games, television programs, commercials, and other videos.
• Rotoscoping: This is an animation technique that graphic designers and animators use to map out the motion picture footage frame by frame to provide blockbuster visual effects to an animated project.

VFX career opportunities in the VFX industry

A career in VFX is today a rewarding and creatively satisfying option for young minds and the job opportunities in the VFX industry are booming. However, while this success, and projected growth of the industry, has a lot of aspiring VFX artists excited, oftentimes students don’t know what different roles are on offer in the VFX industry in India.

So here’s a breakdown of the 7 different key positions that are available to VFX professionals in India.

1. Matte Painter – You know those beautiful, almost magical tapestries that only VFX films seem to have? A matte painter has a huge hand in their creation. A matte artist takes visual reference cues such as photographs, sketches and other references and turns them into realistic VFX scenes that all the action will take place in.
2. Roto Artist – A rotoscoping artist or roto artist has the difficult and imperative task of tracing all those areas of a frame where CG meets real life, in order to provide compositors with a framework from which to begin their work. A job that offers great foundation in VFX, and often a starting point for VFX professionals, there is a great demand for roto artists today.
3. Compositing Artist – Well done visual effects merge seamlessly with the rest of the background, and don’t distract the viewing experience at all. One glitch though, and can ruin the entire experience for the viewer. A compositor’s job is to ensure that this seamlessness between VFX and live action is intact, and any visual disturbances are eliminated.
4. Match Mover Artist – A match mover is typically an expert in both 2D and 3D as he or she has to work at the confluence of both worlds. An artist that works in CGI, tracking movements is an important part of the match mover’s responsibilities, as in this role, you would be typically responsible for ensuring that the computer-generated graphics integrate properly with the live-action footage, and proportions, movements and more all have a natural, seamless look and feel.
