Outline: Special Effects in Animation and Live Action
I. Introduction
a. In
this term paper, I will be comparing the visual effects in destruction of
buildings from two movies; The Avengers and Dragonball Z: Broly - The Legendary
Super Saiyan
b. Thesis
II. Body
a. The Avengers
·
Before
everything is laid out, visual development had to create various types of
destruction to show what it would look like in the movie. A lot of video
references were used to create a realistic effect. After the desired effect is
chosen, the modelers would model a scene and do some visual effect tests and
hand them off to the producer.
·
The
environment was modeled in a 3D modeling program such as Maya or 3D Studio Max.
The destruction was generated in Maya or Studio Max or other various programs.
Then it was consulted by a physicist to see if that effect would happen in real
life. Realistic textures and matte paintings was later added after the visual
effects were complete. After the visual effect of destruction was applied. Lighting
was finally added to give a more realistic finish. A lot of references were
used so this technique is successful.

the film and backing it up with the theory
b. Dragonball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan
·
The
visual effects for the mountains, buildings, and various objects were composed
in Adoble Flash and carefully hand drawn frame by frame to create an animation.
Because the company is very small and not well known they do not have a full
time physicist to consult each animator. Because the animation is labor
intensive, little references were used and is exaggerated. For example, if
Broly punched Goku, Goku would fly 50 feet and hit a mountain causing the
mountain to break in half.
·
Most
of the animators that work for Bandai, who created the animated series, don't
get paid as much and each episode is on a time schedule so each style test had
to be finished on a certain timeline. Because they have less time, the visual
effects will look unrealistic and very inaccurate.
