Special effects (often abbreviated as SFX, F/X, or FX) are illusions or visual tricks used in theater, film, television, video games, and other entertainment industries to simulate fictional events. They are traditionally divided into mechanical (or practical) effects, which are captured physically during live-action shooting, and optical effects, which are created photographically or digitally in post-production.

“I've seen 12 and 14 and 15 year olds do things with special effects that if you watched it on film, you wouldn't know if it was real or not.”
