Special effects
Special effects are techniques used in film, television, and theater to create illusions or visuals that wouldn't be possible or safe to achieve in reality. They include practical methods like makeup and props, as well as digital effects created with computer technology, such as CGI. The goal is to enhance storytelling by making scenes more realistic, fantastical, or awe-inspiring. Depending on the project, special effects can involve explosions, creatures, weather phenomena, or futuristic environments—all designed to immerse viewers and bring creative visions to life.
