Over the visual side of any high-budget film, hundreds of artists and designers are working to impress us with a stunning picture on the screen. There are also special effects specialists who, as a rule, blow up and destroy everything that artists and designers have painted. These guys know their business, and behind each “cinema Armageddon” there are thousands of man-hours of their hard work. In modern video games, as in cinema, the profession of a specialist in special effects is very much in demand.
