What is the difference between visual effects and special effects?Special effects (SFX) are clever uses of props and materials while shooting a video that creates a condition that would not occur naturally. Visual effects (VFX) are added using a computer after all the footage is shot. Both of these processes go hand-in-hand when creating and editing professional videos.
How do visual effects impact storytelling?Visual effects help complement storytelling in film and videos. They help ensure seamless transitions and help take the audience deeper into a story, especially in action movies. However, throwing a lot of visual effects into a movie does not make it good. VFX helps enhance an already good story. It doesn’t transform a poor story into a good one.
When should I use visual effects in my videos?Use visual effects in your videos when you want to enhance your brand image, polish and clean up errors in your video production, and make your videos more engaging. Visual effects will help make your great storytelling better by enhancing the effect of your video. Visual effects are typically included in a video using a computer at the editing stage after the video is recorded.
