It is the general term for all stages of production occurring after the actual end of shooting and/or recording.

The ADMEC Multimedia is Delhi's one of the best training provider of practical visual effects and editing courses. The Post Production Master programme is for those students who want to acquire technical, creative and professional practice building blocks for a career in visual effects and editing (Video and Audio) production. The aim of the programme is to produce versatile digital artists with a complementary set of traditional and digital filmmaking skills. In further studies, students will apply their digital skill-set to a series of new projects of increasing creative and technical complexity, individually and as part of a team. By the end of the programme students will have the opportunity to specialize in both visual effects and editing production, resulting in a final project demonstrating their expertise.

Visual Effects
module III

Visual effects (commonly shortened to Visual F/X or VFX) are the various processes by which imagery is created and/or manipulated outside the context of a live action shoot. Visual effects are frequently integral to a movie's story and appeal. Visual effects are the most noticable element in films and digital games. All those eyes catchy shots in Lord of the Ring, Stealth, and Terminator etc have become possible because of visual effects. Digital media has been revolutionized after the incarnation of visual effects (VFX) or motion graphics. Advanced computer applications make easy to accomplish this task, so let us read all about the inherit contents.
