300 special effects
What program do filmmakers use to create cg effects?
What program do filmmakers use to create special effects, whether it be giant robots in Transformers or particle effects like explosions and such in 300? I have seen videos where it looks like they create the cg object in 3D and layer it over the existing footage. How do they do that? Or is there some sort of specialized program for this? Just wondering since I finished watching Next and feel like trying something similar.
yes…the cg objects are created in a unique (and very expensive) 3d animation program and then layered over existing film that was planned for the cg object. be prepared to pay in the thousands.
particle effects/explosions can be created in special effects software such as adobe after effects or apple motion. about $1000 for retail version of after effects.
