VFX VS CGI VS SFX
There is a debate raging in the film industry. Well, there are multiple debates raging in the film industry, but today we’re focusing on one of them: VFX vs CGI vs SFX. This debate is rooted in confusion over definitions, and CGI fatigue. Certain audiences, and filmmakers, are tired of CGI being used as a creative bandaid, sloppily solving problems in post which allows for laziness on set. In this video, we dive head first into this debate, and find that the answers aren’t as clear-cut as they might seem…
WHAT IS SFX?
First, we look at the oldest of the three categories: SFX, short for special effects. Special effects refer to any elements created on set, also referred to as practical effects. When a filmmaker brags about doing some crazy visual “for real,” this is what they’re referring to. Today, SFX have become coveted, and even fetishized. See any Tom Cruise interview.
WHAT IS VFX?
Now, the second oldest: VFX, or visual effects. These are any effects added to imagery that was captured during production. This can be compositing, green screens, virtual production, motion capture, paint outs, and much more. VFX today are mostly done digitally, but a visual effect can also be executed without a computer. Old compositing techniques with optical printers count as VFX.
Now, here’s where the confusion can occur.
WHAT IS CGI?
CGI, or computer generated imagery, is a type of visual effect. But not all visual effects are CGI. CGI only refers to elements that are created solely using a computer. Seems pretty straightforward, right? The confusion arises from when filmmakers boast that their film didn’t use any CGI. People will quickly look at film’s credits, see all these VFX artists’ names, and claim that the filmmaker is lying. But actually, these VFX artists might be working on other VFX that don’t include CGI.
PRACTICAL VS DIGITAL
So why are more and more filmmakers emphasizing they aren’t using CGI? The answer lies in the evolution of filmmaking over the past 30 years. CG has become more and more dominant. And while this allows for creatives to build worlds never before thought possible, it can also result in less-than-stellar visuals and lazy filmmaking. But this is only when CGI is used poorly- it’s not an indictment of the tool. In the end, CG will always have its place in film. It’s just what that place looks like that may change.

For us there is no difference in CGI and VFX. This video is a bit misleading sadly. There is only VFX and SFX. Also when you "only" composite two real plates together its with the help of a Digital tool that will create a final image that is computer generated as blending two images together needs digital effects applied what means you get a digital final frame created by a computer.
@rangerCG 22 күн бұрын
@@JohnnyFehrI agree for the most part, although if someone is trying to say that something was created by 3d graphics programs as opposed to being real they'll use the term "cg", not "vfx". I throw around the word compositing or composited a lot for 2d graphics/stock stuff added. Also something people might now know is that "fx" usually refers to physics simulations like smoke or particles, fire, liquids etc, so an fx artist would be someone who specializes in those things.
@JohnnyFehr 22 күн бұрын
@@rangerCG thats why its important to educate the terms correctly. For example in Nuke there is a lot done in 3D too even if its just cards projections. Compositing is the same VFX like Modeling or Animation. So if the "CGI" in a movie is good or bad, we should call it VFX and not CGI. What if modeling, lighting, animation did an amazing job but comp not. and the audience will say its bad CGI so you blame the wrong one then? its all part of VFX if its made digital. We in VFX itself don't even use the word CGI 😅we do VFX and VFX contains different departments just like SFX.

Top Gun is a great example of everyone from studio to Tom lying about CGI. Sure. They shot a lot of ref footage, but 90% was replaced by CGI. Saying there’s no CGI in it while it was more CGI shots than Black Panther is rather disrespectful for artists work on it.

1:52 - It's a bit unfortunate that they touch on the fact that a lot of filmmakers claim they don't use CGI, using Top Gun and Tom Cruise as an example, when it has been proven that a lot of these filmmakers and especially Top Gun have lied about this. The clip they picked to illustrate this is literally a CGI jet. I know they also said "CGI is misunderstood" in that section, but it's not just misunderstood, those claims are just straight up lies. The jets seen in Top Gun are CGI, even though the filmmakers (like Tom Cruise) claim they aren't. For some reason both journalists and others writing about filmmaking often spread the false rumours, even though they obviously are false, since there often can be VFX breakdowns showing what's CGI. Note that some filmmakers use the power of NDAs to block VFX artists from talking about the production, even after it has been released. (That's not the case with Top Gun though, so there are plenty of proof debunking the lies used in marketing.) And note that tons of VFX artists are cut from the credits, so don't use that either as a way to measure the amount of VFX work (Nolan can literally cut hundreds of VFX artists from the credits). I can recommend the KZfaq series _"NO CGI" is really just INVISIBLE CGI_ for those wanting to see a good summary of a bunch of these examples. Cheerio.

I used to be a intern for a CGI studio and ngl everything shown and explain here is on point. Not to mention you gotta have the most expensive and top of the line computers and other equipment to be able to make the best output as possible. We literally went from goofy looking effects to realistic and seamless looking effects composited in various media. The obsession with making things look realistically look seamless is what makes the whole thing so meticulous and time consuming haha. I remember creating running animation for a 3D character meant to be shown for like 10 seconds which mind you took me weeks to finish, fine tuning everything, making sure everything looks right from the weight of each step, the interaction of the feet to the ground etc. Only for it to be covered up by the VFX department with dust, debris and smoke. The frustration was real, I wasn't even paid to animate it cause I was a intern back then haha.

CGI could honestly get a video all its own with so much involved in the process. You’ve got modeling, rigging, texturing, animation, lighting even simulated physics…that’s why it grinds me gears when people say “this CGI looks bad” because they really only have a gripe with one of those aspects but don’t know enough to specifically call it out. Instead they lump everything under just “CGI”

The second was the dinosaur reveal in the original Jurassic Park. That second one is a great scene on a number of levels, including the acting of Sam Neill and Laura Dern and, of course, the music. Spielberg has always understood that special effects are a tool and that the story is what matters.

Love this lesson. I think many of us who were around between the times of Superman and Star Wars, the term Special Effects (Special FX) encompassed everything that was not apart of our real world (ie a man flying without a machine, laser swords or gigantic creatures). Now as technology advanced (going from large machinery to laptop size rendering machines) the lines have become unblurred and defined (love that high resolution!). I appreciate the old days of special effects because of the model building, camera rigs and makeup design had its rough beginnings with creative people solving the problem on set. Now many of those problems can be solved prior to shooting and post production. Either way, I give 4 thumbs up to all the people involved in realm of Special FX (you know how I mean that, LOL). Thank you StudioBinder for another great lesson!

It’s not about CGI, it never has been. It’s about the reliance on spectacle over story and a bunch of Hollywood studios believing that spectacle is the best way to bring in audiences to the cinema. CGI is an easy provider of spectacle and Hollywood focuses on this over original cinema as a means of making movies big, fast and easy… so remakes and sequels and reboots are platforms for spectacle and CGI is the means. So when filmmakers say they didn’t use any, it’s an unsaid implication that their film isn’t an instant and lazy made film. Yet, like any tool, used properly, CGI yields amazing results when driven by story.

indian audiances and youbers should watch this video. because most of them don't know the difference between vfx and cgi. if any movie's cgi looks bad, they complaint to the vfx artists and mocking them. example : the flash, she hulk, adipurush, kotchadayan, etc.

you watched the whole video and still didn't understood a thing, "vfx artist" is an umbrella term in the industry, that includes people who creates CGI (3d models, textures, animation etc) and also people who do rotoscopy and compositing etc as well. CGI artist and VFX artist in the vfx studio terminology are not two different things.

What other ways other than digitally can we make vfx to differentiate between it and cgi
@StudioBinder 22 күн бұрын
I suppose if you shoot all of your elements practically and the combine them digitally, like Nolan did with Oppenheimer. That way, you still get the benefits of VFX without relying too heavily on CGI.

I get what you mean, but there's a ton that that doesn't account for. A heap of effects work that can't help but be noticeable because it's part of the very premise. Did you think ET was bad because you noticed him in every shot and he couldn't possibly be real? Or Yoda or whoever? The more imaginative or genre the premise, the more you'll know it's fx work and that will never change!

@@halfvader8015 obvisouly this doesn't account for unreal stuff like non-existing fictional characters. I mean all the unnoticed VFX in (f.e.) Top Gun, Barbie, and EVERY other movie out there where we think they might got it in camera, but was digitally replaced or added without anybody noticing.

@@niiklaswag Sure. It's just not how you worded it that's all/was not "obvious" at all. Or I wouldn't even have taken you to task on it. You gotta understand that people assume and so the great unwashed just take these all-encompassing statements that don't even mention the supposedly obvious stuff, as the be all end all. And the people who say these things/what you did, assume everyone just gets it, which makes even their own statements redundant. And the funny thing is the even the armchair critics of vfx badmouth stuff like digital matte painting (showing themselves up to be just as moronic as those who know nothing) - which is so good that it's what matte paintings were always intended to be and what you're actually discussing here - the "invisible art"! Cheers.

How is forced perspective VFX rather than SFX? Unless I'm misunderstanding forced perspective is using the camera's perspective to fool the audience into thinking things are bigger or smaller or closer or whatever. This is something happening in front of the camera right? I've also heard painted backgrounds called VFX before (maybe this is just wrong or an attempt to simplify), but I would think they are SFX.

Is using a computer to add a real thing to the frame VFX or CGI? Like the example where the guy creates multiple versions of himself, if you accomplished the same thing with a computer does that make it CGI? I suppose so but the question popped up because I was thinking it's different from adding something that's entirely made in a computer, like the Pikachu, since you are just using a computer to make the old VFX technique of multiple exposures to create things that aren't actually there easier.
