They can range from simple editing and color correction to complex computer-generated imagery (CGI) and animation. VFX can help filmmakers tell stories, create immersive worlds, and achieve artistic visions. But how do you choose the best VFX for your film? And how do you make them look realistic and believable?

1 Know your genre

Different film genres have different expectations and conventions when it comes to VFX. For example, sci-fi and fantasy films often rely on VFX to create fantastical creatures, environments, and technologies that are not possible in reality. On the other hand, drama and comedy films usually use VFX more subtly and sparingly to enhance the emotions, humor, or realism of the scenes. Therefore, you need to know your genre and its audience before you decide on the type and amount of VFX you want to use. You also need to consider the tone and mood of your film and how VFX can support or contrast them.

2 Choose the right technique

VFX techniques can be used to achieve a variety of effects in a film. Matte painting is one such technique, which involves creating or altering backgrounds and landscapes with digital or traditional painting methods. Compositing is another, which combines two or more images or videos into one seamless image or video. Motion capture records movements and expressions of actors or objects and transfers them to CGI models or characters. Simulation creates or replicates natural phenomena and physical behaviors using mathematical models and algorithms. Each of these techniques has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the budget, time, skill, and equipment available. Ultimately, the best technique should be chosen based on the creative vision, technical requirements, and practical constraints.

Rigorously study the real-life version of what you're trying to recreate. Explosions, creatures, natural elements, etc. there is always some form of reference that you can use to improve your work. Every mechanism has micro-movements, ripples, and small imperfections that add the "realistic" effect to VFX.

3 Use references and research

One of the key factors that can make or break the realism of your VFX is how well they match the reality or the style of your film. To achieve this, you need to use references and research as much as possible. References can be anything that can inspire or inform your VFX design, such as photos, videos, artworks, books, or other films. Research can be anything that can help you understand or verify the accuracy or logic of your VFX, such as scientific facts, historical data, cultural context, or aesthetic principles. Using references and research can help you create VFX that are consistent, believable, and relevant to your film.

4 Balance the elements

Another important factor that can affect the realism of your VFX is how well they balance with the other elements of your film, such as the story, the characters, the cinematography, the sound, and the editing. You need to make sure that your VFX serve the purpose and the meaning of your film, not distract or overshadow it. You also need to make sure that your VFX match the quality and the style of your film, not clash or contradict it. You can achieve this by using appropriate colors, lighting, textures, shapes, sizes, movements, and transitions for your VFX. You can also use sound effects, music, dialogue, and narration to enhance or complement your VFX.

It's important to have VFX consulting from the development stage of the project. It's easy for the screenwriters, storyboard design, building the budget, etc…

5 Test and revise

Before finalizing your film, it's important to test and revise your VFX in order to identify and fix any errors, glitches, or inconsistencies that could ruin the illusion or immersion of your film. To do this, you can use different methods such as previewing, rendering, and screening. Previewing allows you to check your VFX on a computer screen or monitor for any obvious mistakes or flaws. Rendering converts your VFX into a final image or video format that can be played or projected on a screen or device. Screening involves showing your VFX to an audience or feedback group on a large screen or device to gauge how they affect the emotions, reactions, and opinions of viewers. By testing and revising your VFX, you can make sure they are as realistic and effective as possible for your film.
