Now let's touch the other side of design, visual effects stuff. Have you heard about rotoscoping and chroma key? Well if not, then let me share you what's this about...
Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action film movement, frame by frame, for use in animated films. Originally, pre-recorded live-action film images were projected onto a frosted glass panel and re-drawn by an animator. This projection equipment is called a rotoscope, although this device has been replaced by computers in recent years. In the visual effects industry, the term rotoscoping refers to the technique of manually creating a matte for an element on a live-action plate so it may be composited over another background.
Chroma key is a technique for mixing two images or frames together, in which a color (or a small color range) from one image is removed (or made transparent), revealing another image behind it. This technique is also referred to as color keying, colour-separation overlay (CSO; primarily by the BBC[1]), greenscreen, and bluescreen. It is commonly used for weather forecast broadcasts, wherein the presenter appears to be standing in front of a large map, but in the studio it is actually a large blue or green background.
These two techniques is used in movie editing and post production film. Learning the two techniques gives you higher edge from other usual graphic artist. If you wan to know more about visual effects work I personally recommend Lazymovie - visual effects workforce partner, it has been proven and tested that they do quality rotoscoping and chroma key work.
