Set Extensions
You can take environment enhancements to the next level to create entire set extensions
that visually transport your audience to a specific location (while keeping your production
safe at home on a sound stage.) Instead of shipping the whole cast and crew to the
Himalayan foothills, you can replace the background of your shots with temples and
mountains and snow. For period pieces or science fiction, such effects can save enormous
amounts of time and money because you don’t have to build massive sets. You just
construct set fragments around your actors and place green screens in the surroundings.
Using the Fusion page during post-production, you can track the camera movement,
andreplace the green-screen with 3D extensions to your set.
Motion Graphics
Motion graphics, or motion design, is all about animating graphic elements. It’s the
marriage of visual effects, animation, and graphic design with the goal of presenting
on-screen information. Because information in some form is the objective, text often plays
aprimary role in almost every motion design project. The Fusion page includes both 2D
and 3D typography tools along with creative paint, Bézier shape drawing tools, and
incredibly deep spline animation controls. They enable you to create engaging animated
designs that communicate, educate, and entertain.
Learning to see
If you want to create high-quality visual effects, you need to be very conscious of how the
world appears around you. Visual Effects need to look and feel real or your audience will
stop believing. The skill to observe the world around in painstaking detail is just as important
as mastering the technical and artistic side of visual effects.
To become a skillful visual effects artist, you must start noticing how light, perspective,
anddepth appear in the real world, and then bring those observations into your composites.
