What do you need to learn if you want to learn film and television special effects?
I have been doing special effects typesetting for film and television for five years. If you mean special effects such as Hollywood blockbusters, I can answer that the production process of post-special effects such as Transformers is probably three-dimensional, synthesis and editing. It is worth mentioning that editing is very different from the first two items. For example, cooking, three-dimensional and synthesis are responsible for materials and cooking, and editing is responsible for loading. Whether it is a publicity advertisement or a documentary, basically any video needs editing. It doesn't have too many technical components in the process of making special effects in movies and TV, but it is also essential, so if you really want to enter the special effects industry, you have to choose from three-dimensional jobs and synthetic jobs. Synthesis is the core of film and television special effects. Of course, if you choose a synthesis post, you can also use your spare time to strengthen the three-dimensional technology, because at the stage of senior synthesizer, you must have both. Let's go back to the original topic. If you want to learn 3D, you can use one of maya, 3dmax, c4d, etc. I personally suggest maya or 3dmax, so if you want to synthesize, use one of ae and nuke. I have to say the difference between ae and nuke. Ae is like a small restaurant. It is very demanding. Nuke is like a five-star hotel with little demand. Ae is a popular software. It can be edited, packaged and combined with special effects, so ae can be employed in many cities in China, but nuke is different. Nuke can be said to be born specifically for special effects synthesis, and the road is very narrow. Only Beijing can find a job in China. Of course, second-tier cities are barely able, third-tier cities are basically difficult to find employment, and ae can live anywhere. But the first-line film and television special effects (simply refers to the film and television special effects companies that do not include TV stations. ) ae is not good for employment. Speaking of which, you probably know all the options. Personally, I suggest you learn 3D. You can really live anywhere. It is very technical. Even if you are tired of doing special effects in the future, it is not a problem to apply to companies such as game companies, animation companies and advertising companies.
