What is dfx in movies?

DFX or Digital Effects is a term used for computer-based visual effects used in movies. The use of DFX started in the late 1970s and became an essential part of the filmmaking process in the 2000s. DFX includes special effects like explosions, smoke, fire, weather, character animation, digital makeup, compositing, and other visual enhancements. DFX is used to create realistic and visually stunning imagery that is difficult or impossible to achieve practically. The use of DFX has revolutionized the movie-making industry, providing filmmakers with the creative freedom to tell stories that were previously unimaginable. Today, nearly all movies use some form of DFX to enhance the visual storytelling experience. DFX plays a crucial role in big-budget movies in genres like sci-fi, fantasy, action, and adventure. Popular movies known for their use of DFX are the Avatar trilogy, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Jurassic Park, Star Wars series, and many others.
