Most people these days ask themselves whether VFX and CGI are the same things or not. The quick answer is no. VFX and CGI are not the same thing. VFX stands for Visual Effects and is used to create realistic simulated environments, special effects, and other elements that can't be captured with a camera.
On the other hand, CGI stands for Computer-Generated Imagery and is used to create synthetic objects and characters that don't exist in the real world. While VFX and CGI are both used in the filmmaking process, they are two distinct techniques.
Even though both VFX and CGI are used to create the best scene, they are not the same. As you can see, each of them does something different, even though they do share some common applications in film and video. less

Audio plays a crucial role in communication, providing a key link between the listener and the speaker. It has the power to capture attention and evoke emotion, an important factor in creating an effective message.
Audio also helps to create a sense of realism, an important factor in making a connection with a listener's emotions and imagination. A good soundscape can take a listener on a journey through the expressions of a story or song, helping to create an emotional connection with the content.
Audio is also a great way to convey more complex ideas, with its ability to convey emotion and atmosphere in addition to facts and information.
In addition, audio can help to create a sense of immersion, helping to erase the distance between the listener and the speaker.
Audio is an essential part of communication, and its importance for effective storytelling and creative expression should not be overlooked.

Sometimes a campaign calls for slick and defined camera moves, other times it’s a streamlined tripod shoot so as to not distract from a comedic exchange. In this case we chose a more “organic” feel to the approach because we wanted it to feel like more authentic lifestyle stories. This can be achieved in a number of ways, but using a Ready Rig or EZ Rig is our weapon of choice. We also used an Inspire 2 for the aerial footage which yields incredibly nuanced images for such a small camera. Ian McAleece and Justin McAleece handled the cinematography.
