Visual Effects (Visual F/X, VFX)

Visual Effects (Visual F/X, VFX) - Computer generated images created for use in film and television.  These images can be animations or realistic creations.  VFX can range in complexity from simply touching up the skin on an actors face, to digitally creating characters or complete environments for actors to interact within.  VFX are utilized mainly to create images that would otherwise be too expensive, difficult, or impossible to create in a real world setting.
