Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI)
CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) is the use of computer software to create visual effects, animations, or characters in film and TV.
Compositing
Compositing is the post-production process of combining multiple visual elements into a single image or sequence, commonly used in special effects scenes.
Post-Production
Post-production is the final phase of filmmaking, involving editing, sound mixing, visual effects, and color correction to produce the final cut.
Post-Production (Post)
Post-production (post) is the phase after filming, where editing, sound design, and visual effects come together to finalize a film or TV show for release.
Special Effects (SFX)
Special effects (SFX) are visual or audio effects used in films, TV, and theater to create scenes that can’t be achieved with regular filming techniques.
Visual Effects (VFX)
Visual effects (VFX) involve the creation or manipulation of imagery outside live-action filming, often using CGI or compositing to enhance film or TV productions.
Performance Capture
Performance Capture is a technology recording an actor’s movements and expressions to animate a digital character, used extensively in visual effects-driven film and game production.
