Effects Shots

A rather broad term covering all sorts of applications. Essentially these are footage sequences that have been assembled on the computer – generally these are sequences that would be difficult or impossible to achieve in-camera. The sources can range from pure CG (ie. generated entirely on the computer), to a combination of digital and/or stills photos through to digital video or even film. Since the sequences are assembled on a computer they can often be bundled with additional sequences that can enhance as well as aid in the final composition.
