			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=RP Hoogle]I feel like I should say this but visual effects are not necessary digital as you have been saying. They are effects that are added in post (which nowadays usually is digital) but you have to keep in mind that visual effects does not necessarily mean digital. For example the lightsabres and laser blast effects in the original Star Wars films were done by drawing onto the film itself.[/quote]


You are correct, sir. The only thing that you should take into account is that, even if you're using plates (shot footage of real-life elements that are, then, comped in post), the process with which you will be blending the footage and the [i]real-life[/i] stuff will be digital.


But, yeah.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Okay, let me clear this up once and for all. I looked it up on Wikepedia, and it says special effects are different from VFX. It says VFX are post production effects and special effects are on-set or in-camera effects. So budgetstudios is right. But then it means the title of this thread is wrong. This thread refers mostly to post-production effects, so this should be the " Video Effects Thread". Some people get the terms confused, but it's understandable. They're both effects, but have different ways of doing them. Special effects is the more commomly used term because it was used in films before VFX was created.]]></content>

I got a feeling [s]that tonight's gonna be a good night[/s] that this is slowly getting off-topic...

But I'd be interested to see* who of you two is right. What I would say is that those terms just aren't that strictly defined!
