The Present And Future Of Visual Effects In Film And Media

I've always had the philosophy solid film comes from the ancient discipline of the school, the camera images through the camera work, lighting, action, and special effects. The final product is the result of something tangible. Movies I liked as a kid, like ET, Indiana Jones and Terminator had a bit of magic attached to them, because what we see on the screen was not full and true image pixels formed in 3D manipulation (very technical) post-production.

I think I formed this opinion after nearly being put in a coma for Transformers 2 and ruin a part of my childhood watching the Star Wars prequel series. (Even though I know everyone loved Jar Jar Brinks). Please, Mr. Abrams bring the magic back!

Joking aside, there are certainly advantages to the new era in the production of visual effects in the movie post. Worlds are created that you can imagine on the big screen as the alien planet in "Avatar" by James Cameron. Impossible situations can be played on such as the relationship between the tiger Richard Parker and his boat companion of man, "Life of Pi" by ANG Lee.

As we move into the future, thinking of the players can be completely replaced by 3D images, we wonder if characters like Gollum may even come back to life without the incredible talents of Andy Series. For my part, I hope that the public still sees the real value in the raw truth of human emotions on devoid of handling post-production screen.

Although my ideal vision of the world film cameras will return to the days of celluloid devices current digital cameras are now selling consumer level with the ability to shoot raw images k (Incredible FX). The digital age is here to stay and now I say it's time to embrace, in all its HD glory.

Through my personal experience as a filmmaker, I found that mixing accessories, objects and real places with visual effects can greatly improve your efficiency when done correctly. When shooting against a green screen, the preview is the key. Nobody wants to guess where the camera angles, movement and blocking are 80% of the plot is full of green during the shoot.

A rule of thumb for the execution of all production is to prepare for the worst, but when you work with the director of visual effects not want the end result look like a SCI-Fib Channel original mock buster (no offense). So preparation is the key, and also have a little faith in our brothers and sisters in the post-production room (cave). Things are done today that defy the imagination and the people behind you deserve public recognition of their peers.
