VFX, or visual effects, play a crucial role in movies by adding extraordinary elements to live-action shots that are either impractical or cost-prohibitive to create on location. The process of creating VFX for movies is highly intricate, requiring a collaborative effort from a diverse team of skilled artists, all working towards the common goal of achieving cinematic beauty.
The Roto and Paint departments are integral to movie production, undertaking specialized tasks. Rotoscopy artists meticulously extract objects or characters from sequences of movie frames, while paint artists eliminate unwanted artifacts, reconstruct backgrounds, and ensure a clean rendering of the sequence.
