In-Camera Effects
In-camera effects are visual or audio effects created directly during filming or photography, without relying on post-production editing. This involves techniques like double exposure, forced perspective, practical lighting, or in-camera transitions to achieve desired artistic or narrative results. It emphasizes real-time creativity and technical skill in capturing effects at the moment of recording.
Developers should learn in-camera effects when working on real-time applications such as video games, live streaming, augmented reality (AR), or virtual production, where post-processing latency is unacceptable. It's crucial for optimizing performance in resource-constrained environments like mobile devices or embedded systems, and for creating immersive, interactive experiences that require immediate visual feedback.
