SFX artists, or special effects artists, are professionals who create visual effects for films, television shows, and video games. They use various techniques, including practical effects, makeup, and digital tools, to enhance storytelling and create immersive experiences. Their work can range from creating realistic explosions to designing fantastical creatures. These artists often collaborate with directors, producers, and other crew members to bring a creative vision to life. They may work with materials like latex, foam, and silicone for practical effects, or use software like Adobe After Effects and Maya for digital effects. Their skills are essential in making scenes more engaging and believable.
