Research about VFX

R.Sugiraj ,had more interest in watching fantasy movies in television from the realizing period of time on the particular Subject of the movies so; I want to get acknowledgement on the production of the related fantasy movie movies in this regard one day I have got this opportunity through the friend of my brother with the deep discussion to him about the fantasy movies this opportunity has changed my life of ambition on VFX From 60’s to present time of period we can acquire some clean point of view on the matters in VFX further to; nowadays the technical Affairs have been developing very fast and this type of development will make in fluence on the world of movies also. In this above relation; we are able to compare how to use the techniques in movies in previous period and the usage of the related techniques are being developed at the present time here I fond some notes from the Web first we take a look into the VFX History “While a wide variety of devices had been invented that projected moving images in one way or another to an enthralled public as early as the 16th century, cinema itself is widely regarded by most celluloid historians to have begun in 1895. It was then that the Lumiere brothers showcased their first successful method of both filming and projecting moving pictures in Paris, the Cinematographer. And given the long and glorious role that VFX have played in the evolution of cinema since, it's not too surprising that the first special effect was created not long after. The French effects pioneer Georges Melies is widely credited with the first stop action shot, and he certainly did stumble upon it independently, but It was Edison camera operator Alfred Clarke who got there first, deliberately pausing his shot and substituting a dummy for the body of an actress during a scene recreating the beheading of Mary Queen of Scots. The date was 28th August, 1895. Melies' independent discovery of the same technique may have been an accident — famously his cameras hand crank jammed and took around a minute to get going again by which time the street scene he had been filming changed completely – but he certainly took that happy accident and ran with it, effectively becoming the world's first impresario of effects films. In films such as Indian Rubber Head (1902) and the 21 minute epic (for the time) A Trip to the Moon (also 1902) he pioneered a range of VFX techniques such as the split screen / double exposure process, and was very much part of the European movement that saw film as a loose narrative joining together special effects sequences. This was eventually to prove his downfall as audiences started wanting more sophisticated, narratively focussed fare, but over the course of 500 titles and 10 years he pushed the technology as far as any individual in the early period. Model Hollywood Meanwhile, in the US, news films were recreating scenes from real life events with the increasing use of models for growing audiences. These saw the development of classic practical effects - explosions created using gunpowder, burning cardboard buildings shaking in earthquakes, wooden models pulled along by string, water pistols recreating the jets from a fire hose and so on. They weren't very good, as a generation of craftsmen, technicians and money men all grappled with the new technology, but the audience's tastes at the time were equally undemanding. By the 1910s, however everything had started getting a lot more sophisticated. The first VFX specialists started to appear (though they wouldn't start getting credits until the mid 1920s) and pioneered the use of techniques such as using glass mattes for scene extensions. Industry giants like DW Griffith also started developing the visual language of film using techniques such as shot transitions, iris-in and iris-out for dramatic effect, and so on. The 1920s saw Hollywood really get into its stride, with extensive use of model effects in particular in historical epics such as Ben Hur and the Thief of Baghdad, while Cecil B deMilne led his Israelites though sliced walls of double-exposed jelly to simulate the parted waters of the Red Sea in The 10 Commandments. But the '20s really belonged to the Germans, who were streets ahead of their American counterparts in technique and execution, and in particular Fritz Lang's astonishing Metropolis (1926). The shape of things to come The film is still visually stunning nigh on a century later, Lang throwing all of the top technologies of his day at the project and using matte painting, rear projection, compositing techniques, and pushing the art of miniatures further than ever before to make the animated cityscapes of the film's impressive opening sequence. It was also the first film to successfully use the in-camera, optical technique invented by Eugene Shuftan, the Shuftan process. This used a combination of angled mirrors, paintings and live action to create the impression of live actors occupying huge sets, and is essentially seen as a primitive precursor of bluescreen. Certainly it helped give Metropolis the sense of scale which is a hallmark of the film and a central metaphor for the alienation of the individual. The 1930s are perhaps best characterised as a decade of cautious progress. Rear projection, travelling mattes, miniatures…all these techniques saw steady development, with rear projection especially becoming popular due to the demands of the primitive new audio technology of the 'talkies' making location filming nigh on impossible. As a result, by the end of the decade, rear projection screens as large as 14.5 m were in use, with the key to success being matching both the lighting and the focal lengths of background and studio camera exactly. The introduction of optical printers around this time led to huge improvement in image quality, especially when combining the disparate elements for travelling matte work. If you're looking for touchstones from the decade, King Kong probably stands out along with many of the horror movies made by Universal Studios, with the highlight from that canon being the creative use of the Williams process to achieve the invisible scenes in The Invisible Man (1933). This essentially involved filming an actor wrapped in black velvet with an airtube running up his legs against a black velvet draped set to get the images of his empty clothes walking around. These were then copied to high contrast film in a complicated process involving multiple sandwichings of exposed and unexposed film. By the time we get to Orson Welles' classic Citizen Kane (1941), you have a film that was reliant on special effects to tell much of its story, but also one that was not even nominated for an effects Oscar as the majority of them were invisibles. However, it took many of the VFX techniques of the day to their absolute limits, combining matte paintings, miniatures and optical printing techniques in particular to produce Welles' final masterpiece. Add in unconventional lighting, strange camera angles, deep focus shots elaborate camera movements, extremely long takes, non-linear storytelling, and the first appearance of many of the editing conventions that would become part of the filmmaking repertoire for decades to come, and you have the last great movie of the early days of film special effects, and undoubtedly one of the greatest all time. However, it was 1941, war raged across Europe, and for the still embryonic visual effects industry, colour was about to change everything”(redsharknews.com) 60′s Era Had Huge Expectation For The VFX Because They Try To put Into The Real Time Action Footage And If It Failure That Effect To The Whole Industry But Unexpectedly That VFX Work Good And Huge Victory Of VFX Here I Give The Example Work In The 60′s VFX The 60s were the decade of some truly impressive practical effects that had moviegoers in complete "aw" at what was transpiring on the screen. One of those ground-breaking moments were with the infamous skeleton battle scene in Jason and the Argonauts(1963). Created by Ray Harryhausen and done in complete stop-motion animation, he was able to bring these skeletons to life in the film, and integrate them with the real actor. This is a very famous sequence in the effects industry(plural sight Website) For VFX Here Ray Harryhausen Worked As A Stop Motion Model Animator And He Is Work In Mysterious Island (1961) According The Statement Above I Attached Jason and the Argonauts VFX Image Current Era’s 2010 To Upto Date Now The VFX Part We Can’t Called VFX Part We Called As A VFX Industry Because Of Huge Growth Of The VFX Now Days We Can’t See Any Film With Out Any Single VFX Scene Because Of Audience They Loved See The VFX Effect In The Film That is The One Reason Of VFX Got Huge Growth Even I Tell You VFX Huge Welcome To The Television Drama Industry Now the techniques of VFX has widely Developed on the Sector of Mini Cinema And Advertisement Field too in this way the wide techniques are being used in VFX My opinion Of VFX Industry Growth now We Come To The Hollywood Movies Called (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers, Avator, Air Bender ) Now we look little bit of deep into the Indian drama industry Earlier days Indian dramas not have a VFX site but they try to including the VFX into the dramas for example from My acknowledgement that “marmadesam, Vidathukaruppu and velan Serials have that VFX site little bit they using Green Screen Techniques in the Drama in that Earlier Stage Nowadays Indian Drama Industry Does not Make A Single Scene Without VFX Scene For Example Mahabatratham ,Nagini, Nanthini Serials

This Serials Currently Going On Indian Tele Drama clearly we can saw that VFX Site How Much Influence into this drama industry going to follow that VFX Technology that the reason earlier I mansion that VFX Will Rule the Cinema industry And Before going to the Hollywood Moves We look for that VFX Step into advertisement side also Like Indian cricket player Dhoni acting that advertisement and that advertisement have VFX part of that and other advertisement belong to coca cola advertisement and they used 3D Monkey character into the Real time ACTION Footage Now We Look Holly wood Side here i mention that Suresh Antony He Worked on Avengers EndGame, Venom, Gurdians of the Galaxy and He Said That” Vfx is Mostly Used in The Real Time Action Footage ” he Worked on the Thomas character Making too The world of effects in films has definitely come a long way from special effects to the dominated realm of visual effects. In the past few years, we've seen movies constantly trying to push the boundaries of visual effects, trying to achieve more realistic and believable visual effects that can hold up next to the real actors and not know the difference. To get a great glimpse into where we've come just in the past decade, take a look at Gollum in The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers and compare him to Gollum in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. As technology advances and the tools used to create these out of this world characters so do the quality of what is on screen. The recent release of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes features extremely realistic apes, and many advancements in terms of motion capture and the visual aesthetics of the apes like the rendering of the fur. For example, Rise of the Planet of the Apes was one of the first films to use motion capture on location, and not in a specifically designed motion capture studio. More films are being shot largely on green screen stages, leaving the rest of the film up to the VFX artists. VFX is as much of a part as many blockbusters like The Avengers or Pacific Rim as the actors themselves. While VFX is often seen as icing on the cake of a film, it's becoming more of a centre piece. If you want to share some of the films that inspire you as an artist, whether it's with practical effects or visual effects (plural sight Website)

Conclusion In the consideration of the two period (60’s, Present) we can genuinely understand the vital development of VFX in Addition to this; we can get into knowledge that the get continuous development in technical field surely engage the improvement in the production of movies in VFX and will give various view of thoughts about VFX in the Long Run

reflective essay

REFLECTIVE ESSAY 

 My portfolio shows extensive experience working with VFX, video editing, logo reveals and digital painting.  For example, I did a ten second video clip on the topic of global warming for which I came up with an original concept to experiment with a fire simulation. My freelance work also contains digital painting for clients in which I digitally painted their portraits. For another project, I chose the logo of a famous brand and created a ten second logo reveal video. In my free time I created a landscape and fantasy character for a flexible man, inspired by the character of the Captain in Fantastic 4.

  In other areas of experimentation, I downloaded a random video and created a motion tracking video. My first attempt was a failure, but I refused to give up, and finally succeeded on my fourth attempt. I created a Mother’s Day poster in which I tried to portray women’s strength and power and the love between mother and son.  

 I was also inspired by a Ramzan poster I saw on a website and created a Ramzan poster. I experimented with breaking away from the typical use of the color green for Islamic subjects by using blue for the design. 

I have also experimented extensively with 3D. I have created several objects including a wine bottle, laptops, a low poly home and shops. I also created a logo using the Tamil letter ‘m’ for a foreign client. They were very impressed with the final product as working with Tamil can be quite challenging. 

 I created a lyrical video for my song  for which I researched about how to create lyrical videos. In my own ideas while I was creating lyrical videos I was firstly confused with that because I had to merge two different ideas into one   and I tried  my best in first attempt  and felt  that lyrical  texts are to sync the song  then I made and  this video is also added for my portfolio.  

 When I began my research for component 1, I took VFX  for my research topic. It was a fantastic opportunity to broaden my learning. I focused on the South Indian cinema and advertising sector, as well as on a little bit of Hollywood. I learnt how the VFX industry grew, and gained an understanding of where it is headed in the future.  

 To study the evolution of the VFX industry, I studied two cinematic eras, and then compared them. The rapid growth of the industry is impressive, and suggests that it will one day come to dominate the way we make films in the future.  

 For my showreel,  I wanted to create real time action to which I could apply my VFX work.  Although this was challenging, I really put my heart into it in order to create something that can be a real show-piece to propel me in my career. The line I chose as my starting point and inspiration was ‘The boy has unnatural powers’. 

I wrote a story of three scenes based on this in which the boy enters a room. There is a rope hanging over a box in the corner. He takes the rope and begins to twist it. The rope catches fire and begins to burn, opening a portal through which we see a sky and forest. The boy enters this portal, and finally sees a waterfall before him.  I faced a number of challenges developing this scene, working with light, rotoscoping, and with my choice of colors. Eventually I had to ignore a few elements in order to complete the work within the short time limit.  

 As part of my second year work, I also worked on my resume. My instructor suggested that I change a few elements to make it more eye-catching, as well as simpler in design. After that I reworked my resume as he suggested from scratch by listing all the experience I have as a motion graphics artist, beginning with my work on a Tamil movie. I was initially a little confused about what to mention in my experience, but after a few sessions, I was much clearer on how to analyze my past work experience and how to list it chronologically.  I was finally able to complete two versions of the resume as well as a cover letter in which I was able to talk about my roles on various free-lancing jobs as well as my coursework. My first resume was points form  resume other one was with little bit description about my experience  for example I  would work as a motion graphics artist and I talk about which kind of work I did and what kind of issue and trouble I faced

Towards the end of the second semester, I had my stage 1 interview session with a person from the  industry. It was an amazing learning experience on how to attend an interview and to respond confidently, as well as dress presentably. They asked me three main questions. They asked me why I chose this field as a career. I spent a long time answering this question. The interviewer was very impressed with my portfolio, especially the piece on global warming. She finally asked me how I felt I could contribute to their company, and I enjoyed answering this question in some detail. At the end of it, I felt my confidence really grow, and feel much more prepared to face an interviewer in the future. 

 Towards the end of this program I had a lot of problems and issues with my pc, which seriously impacted my ability to complete work before the deadline. I also had power supply issues, and unfortunately missed an important feedback session. All of this was hard to resolve due to the lockdown and pandemic issue. However, I was able to find a supplier who was able to fix my PC, and I managed to get back on track to finish my pending work and incorporate feedback on various projects.  

  Summary of entire studies 

This module has helped me to promote myself and my talent as a VFX artist, shown me how to work on a resume, as well as how to present myself in personal statements and letters by researching the goals and values of the company I am interested in and showing that I value their work, and want to be a part of it. This experience gives me a lesson learnt that I have to put into my company and I hope that will work perfectly and in future I will make my company to be famous and put my best efforts in my field.
