Special effects: Are a set of techniques used in the entertainment world or in the audiovisual field: entertainment, illusion, theater, opera, film, television, videos posted on the Internet, rock concerts etc. Page 2

The special effects are divided into several types: The optical effects or visual

effects also called photographic manipulation consisting of a photographed image. Mechanical effects (also

called practical or physical effects), which are performed live during the filming of the movie. These include animatronic puppets, props, pyrotechnics and artificial rain. Sound effects. Special makeup effects. Digital effects. Page 3

Mechanical effects: Are performed during the live filming of the movie. These include mechanical puppets, scenery and fireworks. Besides being those which create scenes like rain, fire, destruction of walls etc. The sound effects: Are all those obtained with pre-recorded sounds, with or without mixing between them. Page 4

Also included in those sound effects that are recorded in a studio to be added to the background music of the film, as two coconut shells between shocked to simulate the hooves.

Makeup Effects: Theatrical makeup base social and hence it becomes necessary to create different things, such as prostheses and / or masks mechanisms (animatronic), that is applied either to a human or to reproduce other things. Page 5

Often confused these effects with conventional makeup and / or special effects in general, but they are different techniques. Special makeup effects take their name from English Special Makeup Effects (SPMFX).

Digital Effects: Are also referred to as computer graphics or CGI) are all those digital images that are created by computer but can be real images retouched Page 6

by computer, with composition or process of integrating them all together. Examples of the types of special effects: Optical Effects:

Avatar: Avatar is the latest production that is creating a kind of admiration shared by the growth of the special effects in the world of cine. The technology developed for the making of the film has understood the special programs using virtual design.

Toy Story The first film fully three-dimensional cartoon was created by only 27 artists, using 70 Indigo 2 Extreme computer Silicon Graphics for modeling, animation, lighting and composition, Silicon Graphics Challenge more servers to store data and 117 SparcStation stations 20 Sun Microsystems for the "rendering" (generate the final look, once all paths).

Technology and digital effects As for the technological elements important for the realization of digital effects can distinguish between two groups, hardware and software: Hardware: In this highlight

the scanner, workstation and register. The scanner is essential in digital effects, since with it digitize the images, this allows us to enter into the computer the information that was in the movie to your computer for further processing. Page 17

Software: In this highlight the 3D software, digital compositing programs, chromakeyers (chroma), graphic pallets (photo editing software). It has animation packages which consist of one or more modules that can be modeled, lifelike encourage and give an object. The most important software wave front, soft image, alias etc. With composers can mix in digital images without loss of image.
