#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Visual effects (sometimes abbreviated VFX) is the process by which imagery is created or manipulated outside the context of a live-action shot in filmmaking and video production. The integration of live-action footage and other live-action footage or CGI elements to create realistic imagery is called VFX. VFX involves the integration of live-action footage (which may include in-camera special effects) and generated-imagery (digital or optics, animals or creatures) which look realistic, but would be dangerous, expensive, impractical, time-consuming or impossible to capture on film. Visual effects using computer-generated imagery (CGI) have more recently become accessible to the independent filmmaker with the introduction of affordable and relatively easy-to-use animation and compositing software.

One of the last projects in the studio. I worked on a screen for an opera in Warsaw. They covered the songs of the Queen group and everything was in the spirit of adventure and searching for songs. 💃 🕺 I made these doors because one of the locations was a school, in my opinion, the animation fit perfectly into the performance. You can also see the eyes that follow the actors as surveillance cameras and of course the lasers that locked the actors in space. P.s. Saw everything live. 🎸 🥁 🎙 🎵 #motiondesign #animation #freelance #motion

I started my interest in VFX because I had limited resources💸 In what feels like a life time ago, I was primarily focus on camera operation and cinematography. However, more times than I care to admit, I'd jump into AE to retouch things here-and-there in order to enhance the quality of my shot. 10 years later, I'm able to help others. Wire removals, set extension (like in the video), digital make-up, there was even a time I had to track and replace a belly button but that's story for another day... Visual enhancements are so common and now with todays tools and AI assisted features, it's more accessible than ever. A lot of people hear "VFX" and jump to CG characters like Gollum or Thanos, Explosions or some bad movie that had "yucky greenscreen". However a the main goal of working with VFX is enhancing the narrative and allowing the directors to do their thing -- getting shots, performances or locations they may not have been able to achieve fully in-camera. When done right, you wouldn’t know they’re there at all. I'd love to hear your on Invisible VFX and any examples of "Oh damn! That wasn't real?". Lemme know! #vfx #vfxbreakdown #filmmaking

I whipped up a short scene to practice my lighting, composition, and camera rigging chops as I start creating more assets for my portfolio. The character was downloaded from mixamo. I created the scene in Blender and rendered it with classic EEVEE. It took ~30 minutes to render the scene. I also created the foley audio and soundtrack using Logic Pro X. The whole project took around 2 hours, including the audio and render times. I realize that my mathematical research tends to lack elements of storytelling, so I am going to see how I can combine my procedural animations with this more traditional approach in future renders. #3danimation #animation #shortfilm #cutscene #mixamo #blender #render #soundtrack #composer #foley #lighting #camerarigging #3dartist

Visual effects aren't just about creating stunning scenes; they're about rewriting the rules of storytelling. Every pixel shatters a barrier and redefines what's possible in the world of imagination. From fantastical realms to mind-bending illusions, VFX empowers us to breathe life into stories that were once deemed impossible. Watch our VFX demoreel to see some of the stories we’ve been able to bring to life. #VFX #VisualEffects #VideoProduction #MotionGraphics #PostProduction #Cinema4D #Animation #3DAnimation #AfterEffects #Showreel #DemoReel #CreativeIndustry #FilmMaking #Cinematography #SpecialEffects
