Editing Visual effects (section)

==Production pipeline==
Visual effects are often integral to a movie's story and appeal. Although most visual effects work is completed during [[post-production]], it usually must be carefully planned and choreographed in [[pre-production]] and [[film production|production]]. While [[special effect]]s such as explosions and car chases are made on [[theatrical scenery|set]], visual effects are primarily executed in post-production with the use of multiple tools and technologies such as graphic design, modeling, animation and similar software. A [[visual effects supervisor]] is usually involved with the production from an early stage to work closely with production and the film's [[Film director|director]] to design, guide and lead the teams required to achieve the desired effects.
