Roto Artists trace the areas of live action frames where computer graphics will overlap or interact with live images. This creates clear areas (mattes) within the frame to allow all elements of the scene to be layered convincingly. This enables Compositors to combine all the various elements accurately. The role of Roto Artist exists more often on special effects work, within facility houses or on projects that combine live action and computer graphics
Match Move Artists translate and imitate the camera movements in live action shots and match those movements in 3D. They position tracking points on live action shots and, using those tracking points, they work out the co-ordinates in the relevant 3D programme. The information they provide enables the CG geometry to fit accurately and convincingly into the live action plates when the various elements are composited by the Compositor.

Keying is defining transparency by a particular color value or luminance value in an image. When you key out a value, all pixels that have colors or luminance values similar to that value become transparent. Keying makes it easy to replace a background, which is especially useful when you work with objects too complex to mask easily. When you place a keyed layer over another layer, the result forms a composite, in which the background is visible wherever the keyed layer is transparent.
Rotomation is a technique for animating a 3D element on top of tracked motion picture video to match a person or an item in a live-action plate, frame by frame. It is used in conjunction with a match move. So, if you need to replace one of your actors with a CG duplicate or a beast, we will match more of your actual actor on your plates. It is also a combination of different visual effect approaches, from animation to rotoscoping on some level—hence the name.
From seamlessly integrating VFX shots with CG characters to working on invisible VFX like stray hairs and rain, you need CGI compositing. Today's trend in visual effects is an ever-closer integration of digital compositing within the CGI production pipeline. In addition, compositing software is continuously evolving toward more support for CGI issues, so the modern digital compositor needs to understand how to composite CGI and have a good understanding of CGI.
Visual effect (VFX) integrates live action and a generated environment to create realistic effects. We help you develop stunning and compelling VFXs that captivate your target audience with various visual effects. Some other visual effects are bullet Time, Virtual Cinematography, Digital Compositing, Matte Painting, Motion Control Photography, Stop Motion Animation, Prosthetic Makeup, and Chroma Key.
