There are many kinds of visual effects services that can be added to a film, but some of the most popular ones include computer-generated imagery (CGI), stop motion animation, color grading, bullet time, virtual cinematography, digital compositing, and motion control photography.

What is the difference between visual effects and special effects?

Special effects (SFX) are clever uses of props and materials while shooting a video that creates a condition that would not occur naturally. Visual effects (VFX) are added using a computer after all the footage is shot. Both of these processes go hand-in-hand when creating and editing professional videos.

When should I use visual effects in my videos?

Use visual effects in your videos when you want to enhance your brand image, polish and clean up errors in your video production, and make your videos more engaging.

How do visual effects impact storytelling?

Visual effects help complement storytelling in film and videos. They help ensure seamless transitions and take the audience deeper into a story, especially in action movies.

A great VFX effects editor should be proficient in editing software, an excellent communicator, organized, pays attention to details, and has very good time-management skills.
