From the course: How a Visual Effects Company Works
What you need to know
- [Instructor] During this course I'll be discussing how a visual effects project progresses. I'll be talking about all of the major types of effects and general techniques that are used to create them. So, it would be good if you already have a basic understanding of these terms. I will be covering the whole visual effects pipeline and mentioning most of the steps taken to produce a high end visual effects shot. These include matte painting, keying, rendering, modeling, animation, rig removal, compositing, which is my specialty, and more. You won't need to know each of these steps in detail, I don't, but it would be helpful if you have a general idea of what each discipline is and what it involves.
