BFA

Visual effects is the process of creating and manipulating imagery which is computer generated and combine it with live action shots, when it comes to film making or any form of video visual. This it done to get outputs which would be very expensive, dangerous and maybe impossible to get on film. VFX,nowadays is easily accessible through animations and composting software.
Timing : VFX is one of the most crucial elements in making of a film and is usually integrated during the post production of the movie, but the planning of this is choreographed during the planning phase.
Animation is the process of by which images are used to bring the illusion of motion by the rapid movement of those images in a sequence.
Animations can be recorded or stored in various equipment and formats. Some recording would be flip books, video tapes, motion picture movies or on digital media and some of the formats on which it is stored are digital video or flash animations.
The first signs of animations that were discovered would be dated back 5000 years ago in Iran, where explorer found an artifact which seemed to have a sequence of a Desert Ibex jumping to eat leaves from a tree.
