There are many subtle aspects in visual effects that blur the line between reality and simulation. How light is bent or diffused, how a shadow falls, lens distortion and flares. To arrive at a smooth integration of realistic appearances requires an understanding of physics, optics and the entire post-production process. VFXmagic uses advanced compositing and matting techniques along with 2D and 3D tracking programs to explore a multitude of visual possibilities. The result is stunning realism in composited elements.
