SFX: created and function while on set
VFX: post filming and editing 
CGI: fully done by computer while still filming and post editing

@Geedtyjkbfssvbhhgfvbgdetyhfrg

This is the kind of video that needs to be watched by everyone because SOOO many of us can't differentiate between these terms despite using them

@TrackpadProductions

I really hope this video blows up the way it deserves to. One of my biggest pet peeves in film circles is when people use these terms interchangeably, and I'm so happy there's someone willing to break it down properly.

@oliviab4079

CGI could honestly get a video all its own with so much involved in the process. You’ve got modeling, rigging, texturing, animation, lighting even simulated physics…that’s why it grinds me gears when people say “this CGI looks bad” because they really only have a gripe with one of those aspects but don’t know enough to specifically call it out.  Instead they lump everything under just “CGI”

@PhantomFilmAustralia

The most egregious sin when it comes to VFX and CGI is having cutting edge technicians using state-of-the-art technology, yet they are never given the necessary time required to achieve either an incredible effect or invisible effect.

@JacobJohnson-lh4gx

I used to be a intern for a CGI studio and ngl everything shown and explain here is on point. Not to mention you gotta have the most expensive and top of the line computers and other equipment to be able to make the best output as possible. We literally went from goofy looking effects to realistic and seamless looking effects composited in various media. The obsession with making things look realistically look seamless is what makes the whole thing so meticulous and time consuming haha. I remember creating  running animation for a 3D character meant to be shown for like 10 seconds which mind you took me weeks to finish, fine tuning everything, making sure everything looks right from the weight of each step, the interaction of the feet to the ground etc. Only for it to be covered up by the VFX department with dust, debris and smoke. The frustration was real, I wasn't even paid to animate it cause I was a intern back then haha.

@gingerdog8203

From what I’ve seen, in the industry rarely actually say “CGI”, or atleast not as generally as the public. Tbh, I’m just tired of hearing people using it to trash on the vfx industry (the industry that includes vfx, cgi and sfx)

@daniellatteo_thefilmmaker

4:22 How great it must be to be Nolan and candidly say: 
"Ok guys, we're going to have some SFX in this scene. A big truck flips end over end, and then lands upside down in the middle of the street"
SFX Super " How are we going to do that?"
Nolan "Well,  we're going to get a big truck, flip it end over end, and land it in the middle of the street".

@aspizak

Top Gun is a great example of everyone from studio to Tom lying about CGI. Sure. They shot a lot of ref footage, but 90% was replaced by CGI. Saying there’s no CGI in it while it was more CGI shots than Black Panther is rather disrespectful for artists work on it.

@Guayanes_999

I feel these days, those who edit and create CGI should have the same level of fame as the actors.  Because with today's technology you cannot tell the difference and creative wise, they are pretty amazing.

@freddyjosereginomontalvo4667

As corridor crew once said:
You must do everything on practical effects, puppets, and makeup... and then use CGI and VFX to improve them and to apply where the practical effects can't be applied.
Awesome video as always say.
Thanks for being one of the best channels about cinematography

@rayancedrichaddad1197

It's a complete audiovisual encyclopedia about the Differences between those Three Aesthetic Elements/Illusions in Filmmaking. CGI/VFX/SFX are the Three Musketeers Illusions in Filmmaking. Thousand Thanks StudioBinder for this Inspiring video.💯💯💯

@JoshLange3D

Another important video from the channel, great job guys! I would only submit that 1)many industry professionals have different definitions of CGI, and 2) previs artists don't "sketch" our work. Instead it's more accurate to say that we "block out" or "rough out" action that later gets finalized by VFX teams.

@johnta17

SFX: In front of camera
VFX: In Post after filming or in Camera during filming
CGI: Is a distinction inside VFX that is basically SFX done on Computer after filming

@forkfighter

This was so fascinating! I didn't know there was a difference between VFX and SFX. It's neat how much we can do with them in tandem. As much as I appreciate CGI, there's just something about practical effects I find charming

@ppytc

I absolutely adore StudioBinder, even as a non-filmmaker.
Keep it up, good chaps!

@TheMovieRabbitHole

This is a good video. You get bonus point for bringing on Ian who knows what he's talking about

@saturn_squared

Minor correction, A Scanner Darkly was done by hand. It was done on a computer and took FOREVER to complete. There was some assistance I believe in some lines being tracked so that they didn’t have to re-draw certain lines that don’t totally change  but the majority of the film is frame by frame rotoscoping.

@mauriciolee7349

Wow! This is the BEST explanation video of CGI, VFX and SFX. It is clear, easy to understand and up to date with video clips of movies made a short while ago. Thank StudioBinder for such a great job!
