This was a role that i did expect to get as not only did i say in my pitch that i had worked with visual effects and animation, but on the films that was pitched mentioned wanting animation in the film. I am very pleased with this role, as this means that i have three job roles for this module, which can only be a benefit, if i manage to pull all three of them off . For this role in particular i am required to create a butterfly animation, that is hopefully going to go on top of a live action shot, there is also some green screen effects that i have been asked to do. The green screen work is nothing that i haven't done before so this should be easy, but the butterfly animation is going to be something new for me as unlike my minor project this butterfly is going to have to be a 3D animation over a live video, apart from that the idea of putting it into the live scene is something i experimented with in my minor project.
Researching this role is very difficult as visual effects is a very broad term, as in the industry visual effects cover everything from films like chicken run to the amazing CGI in films like Avatar. Though from looking into the role to see if i could find a role that was close to what i am doing i noticed that colour grading/correction is something that is listed visual effects, where in university this role is normally given to the editor, but maybe this is more colour grading fully CGI scenes so that the match with a scene that is not CGI.
