Practical effects are physical effects used in film and television to create realistic visuals without relying on digital technology. These effects can include props, animatronics, makeup, and pyrotechnics, allowing filmmakers to achieve a tangible look that enhances the viewer's experience. Examples of practical effects can be seen in classic films like Star Wars and Jurassic Park. Unlike computer-generated imagery (CGI), practical effects are created on set, often involving real materials and techniques. This approach can provide a sense of authenticity and immersion, as actors interact with real objects. Many filmmakers still prefer practical effects for their ability to create a visceral connection with the audience.
