Ever tried to make a smoothie but forgot to add the fruit before blending? That’s what it feels like when you don’t use pre- and post-effect masking in your VFX work! 🚀 Putting a mask on before an effect can give you clean, hard-edged results, while waiting until after might leave you with a jumbled mess—like blending before you prep. Imagine the creative possibilities! Need that kaleidoscope to hug the subject seamlessly or want a shake effect with sharply defined edges? Pre- and post-masking could be your new best friends, dramatically changing your visual storytelling. Which effects do you think could really benefit from this dual approach?
