![]() ![]() Green screens have drastically evolved since their inception in the early 1900s. Motion control photography requires various elements of same-camera motion to finalize a single image. It involves motion control systems to form an open or closed loop through various commands until the desired motion is achieved. As a result, many optical and mechanical effects techniques have been superseded by CGI.Motion control is another one of the most common types of special effects used in movies. It gives filmmakers greater control, and allows many effects to be accomplished more safely and convincingly and-as technology improves-at lower costs. Since the 1990s, computer-generated imagery (CGI) has come to the forefront of special effects technologies. An optical effect might be used to place actors or sets against a different background. Optical effects (also called photographic effects) are techniques in which images or film frames are created photographically, either "in-camera" using multiple exposure, mattes or the Schüfftan process or in post-production using an optical printer. For example, prosthetic makeup can be used to make an actor look like a non-human creature. Mechanical effects are also often incorporated into set design and makeup. This includes the use of mechanized props, scenery, scale models, animatronics, pyrotechnics and atmospheric effects: creating physical wind, rain, fog, snow, clouds, making a car appear to drive by itself and blowing up a building, etc. Mechanical effects (also called practical or physical effects) are usually accomplished during the live-action shooting. For example, for a science fiction movie about a world with three suns, the filmmaker could hire computer experts to create an image of three suns which would appear in the background of the movie scenes. For this reason, filmmakers use special effects to create images that look like other planets. It would be impossible to actually make a science fiction movie on another planet. They usually tell imaginary stories that take place in the future, on other planets. ![]() Science fiction movies also often use special effects. A movie maker could make a little model of a battleship that is only a few yards or meters long, and then blow it up while filming with the motion picture camera. ![]() For this reason, most action movies use special effects if they want to show something blowing up in flames. For example, if an action movie shows a very big battleship blowing up in flames, it would be expensive to buy a battleship and dangerous to blow it up. There are many different types of special effects, for example, making little models or using computer animation.Īction movies often use special effects to create images that would be dangerous or cost a lot of money to create in real life. Special effects is a term for the things used in movies to create images that do not exist. Bluescreens are commonly used in chroma key special effects. ![]()
