If all the elements that make up a composite are meant to be in the same location,
then you must make sure that light hits them all from the same direction. Simulating relative
sizes, parallax motion, and depth to a real-world level of detail is essential to the realism
of an effects shot.
As you begin creating visual effects, start small. The Fusion page is very deep and
incredibly powerful. The beauty of having Fusion built into DaVinci Resolve is that you
can jump into creating visual effects with one click; try something out to see if it will work;
and then, depending on your skill and the time available, either pass it off to your visual
effects artists or finish it yourself.
Visual effects compositing is about a combination of tools rather than any single filter
effect. It takes time, patience, and experience to do well, but it’s an incredibly exciting
activity that you can learn through experimentation and practice. Eventually, you’ll create
the most thrilling cinematic moments imaginable.
As Walt Disney said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”
