Steven here at Creative 3D Films has experience in

visual effects, colour grading, motion retouching or creating full scale set extensions and digital crowds.

Here is a a rundown of the different types of visual effects he can provide to you.

2D animation

Titles and credits – Simple, well designed rolling or static text on screen
Graphs, charts and infographics – Display statistics, facts or ideas in simple, easy to understand charts or graphs
Flat character animation – Create entire videos or scenes featuring characters.
Digital matte paintings – Realistic looking digital painted landscapes

3D animation

running

Set extensions – Extend the boundaries of your real life set by using digital effects.
Digital crowds – Think epic battle scenes with thousands of virtual soldiers, or a huge crowd at a concert.
3D modelling – Create computer generated characters, 3D muzzle flashes and procedural fire.
Green screen studio work – Add backgrounds and backdrops (both indoor and outdoor scenes) to footage filmed on a green screen.
Stereoscopic 3D production – ‘Stereoscopic’ refers to footage which has been shot both from two different angles (from a ‘left eye’ perspective and a ‘right eye’ perspective)

Titles & Motion Graphics

Using typography and infographic styles in an interesting and engaging way.
This becomes presentable and enjoyable to watch.

Colour grading

Ensure all scenes in a video have a similar colour and brightness profile,
or add special ‘looks’ to your film such as black and white or vintage film effects.

Matte paintings and stills

Digital & traditional paintings or photographs which serve as background plates for keyed or rotoscoped elements.
Live-action effects: keying actors or models through green screening.

Digital animation

Modeling, computer graphics lighting, texturing, rigging, animating, and rendering computer-generated 3D characters, particle effects, digital sets and backgrounds.

Digital effects

Digital effects often involve the integration of still photography and (CGI) to create environments which look realistic, but would be dangerous, costly, or impossible to capture in camera. Simulation Effects are usually associated with the imitation of real-world processes or systems over time. The act of simulating something first requires that a 3D model be developed; this model represents the key characteristics or behaviors/functions of the selected physical,abstract or system process.

Green Screen Compositing

A chroma key, or more commonly known as a ‘Green Screen’ is the process of filming in front of a particular type of green screen and then superimposing an image or graphic into the background in place of the green colour. This may be done simultaneously at the time of filming such as in the case of a live news broadcast or weather report, or in post-production such as in big feature films or TV series, where large special effects teams including animators and motion graphics artists will superimpose the necessary photographic or video background plates as well as Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) into the scene.

One of our most common questions when shooting with a green screen is ‘why is the colour green used, and not another colour like red or purple?’ Green and even blue backgrounds are almost always used because they differ in hue from most human skin colours, which help ensure that your actors or talent, appear fully on screen without mysteriously missing arms or heads in the final editing process.

Why Use Green Screen?

1. Creative options

During the post-production phase, green screen allows for virtually unlimited options

2. Simplicity of scene production

Reducing the need for additional location scouting

3. Time saving

Yes, it just does! :)

Green screen is not restricted to a certain time of day.

Shooting with a green screen allows your video production to have virtually unlimited creativity options in the post-production process. Green screens offer you the ability to superimpose imagery and backgrounds into your video with ease, whether you would like a detailed background environment or something as simple as your company logo. For a corporate video, green screens provide you with a creative platform for visually enhancing your speaker’s message and illustrating your spoken points with imagination. As a part of our services we can shoot you or your talent in front of a green screen here on the Gold Coast. Green screen rates are often determined by the length of time you need to shoot for and what other facilities you need to use at our studio, such as lighting or sound equipment hire.
