How can you use visual effects responsibly in video technology?

3 How can you use VFX ethically?

To use VFX ethically, you need to be transparent, respectful, and accountable for your choices and actions. You need to disclose when and how you use VFX, and avoid misleading or confusing your audience. You need to respect the rights and wishes of the people or entities involved in your video, and obtain their permission or credit when necessary. You need to acknowledge the sources and inspiration of your VFX, and avoid copying or stealing from others. You need to be aware of the potential impact and consequences of your VFX, and take responsibility for them.

4 What are the technical challenges of VFX?

VFX can also present some technical difficulties, especially when they are not done well or appropriately. For example, VFX can be expensive, time-consuming, or complicated to produce, requiring specialized software, hardware, or skills. VFX can also be incompatible, inconsistent, or unrealistic with the rest of your video, causing visual or narrative dissonance. VFX can also be outdated, overused, or clichéd, making your video look cheap, boring, or unoriginal.
