Creating Special Effects
On this page, you will learn about special effects in movies as well as the new cutting-edge technology replacing the current visual effects technology. You will also find a few tutorials on how to use Adobe After Effects. Each tutorial is a basic skill used to create special effects in videos.
Most movies use some form of special effects these days. How do the visual effects artist create these effects? One way is to use a green or blue screen. This allows the artist to remove the background and put the actors anywhere in the world or space. See the video below on how movies use green screen during filming and during editing.
Sometimes, the visual effects artist do not have the time to make the effects look natural as seen in the clip below.
With programs like Adobe After Effects, movies can create almost anything their minds can imagine. Here is a video showing how it can be used in commercials, TV and Movies.
The future of special effects is here. Movies are now using virtual sets instead of a green screen as seen in the Mandalorian. Using LCD Screens and video game engines, special effect artists are creating new ways to make filming easier. Watch the video below to see how and why this new technology came about. This is merging video games and movie technology creating new careers.
​
You can learn how to use these video game engines by taking our Video Game Classes here at LHS!
