Analyzing the Opportunities and Challenges of Employing CGI and VFX in Filmmaking
The proposal of this work is to discuss CGI and VFX in movie production with its advantages and disadvantages. CGI offers absolute liberty of creativity where the director is free to make the impossible possible, or take a concrete abstract idea and put it into a visual that could be put on the screen, right from building completely believable worlds within a 40/45 feet box. Agyeman-Duah,.S.O (2021) argues that It enhances the control and strength of the stimulants removes the ambiguity that is linked with the practical jokes and minimizes the danger that is bound along with the performance of a stunt which is considered unsafe. Second, since the electronic models are new, there is a possibility that they can be changed, thus, it can be less costly to have electronic models reprinted in the long run than to purchase new electronic models. As we all know, there are various shortcomings in using CGI which are as follows. The amount of money that one will have to spend to purchase the software, hardware, programmers, and other overheads that are required to establish and maintain the system. It is rather time-consuming and can take much time particularly while preparing scenes moreover, if low-quality CGI is produced, it can be a letdown and move to the valley of creepiness in which semi-realistic characters may look somehow funny best example of bad CGI is "Final Fantasy-The Spirits Within”(2001) Full motion and highly realistic human characters was computer generated. . However, the character animations were too real doing what were almost human-like movements which gave the audience an unfamiliar feeling due to the uncanny valley effect. This drew attention to the difficulty of getting human characters to look realistic whilst not being too stereotyped. Here is the scene
On the other hand, VFX contributes to realism since it adds creativity in the form of effects to the live-action shot contributing to the overall creativity giving the whole approach a feel of being weighed and thus realistic. It adds to the practical effects and can resolve problems or introduce features that could not be shot in a shooting process. For that reason, VFX could easily be altered during the post-production process for example, Another glaring mistake was observed in the “Justice League” movie, released in 2017, where artists had to re-shoot some of Kal-El’s scenes and change his face using CGI. Instead of removing Cavill’s mustache during the post-production of Justice League, the CGI was not well integrated and created a notable distraction and as demonstrated in Justice League, it remains a challenge to incorporate CGI, especially with live action. and can turn rather useful to the low-budget studios or to the individual filmmakers. However, Giralt. G.F(2017) believes that some challenges come along with using the practical/digital format, the question of consistency and most importantly, cost aspects to ensure quality work. Ideally, it could be time-bound during the post-production stage thereby affecting the quality of the final product and it consists of collaboration with other departments which could be rather challenging. Here is that Scene.

Conclusion
However, the essay has revealed that CGI and VFX are not the same thing variation in terms of their efficiency or ineffectiveness. CGI has its benefits in that it provides the filmmaker with creative freedom and retains a degree of sameness in the production while its weaknesses include the fact that it can be expensive and issues of realism. Use of Real and Practical Effects: technologically significant but should be closely connected and synchronized with VFX. Based on the discussion made here, it can be concluded that a combination of the analytical and synthetic approaches may give better results towards this end, in a way that the ability of each approach is used and they are as realistic and persuasive as possible in presenting the storyline.
