Visual Effects, or (in short) VFX, is a digital manipulation of visuals where you can turn them into impossible scenarios. The consumption of visual content has significantly increased in the last 5-6 years, especially the CGI content. VFX allowed filmmakers to create a fictional world and mythical characters, which gave life to their fictional stories.
