Special effects (also known as SFX, SPFX, F/X, or simply FX) are optical illusions or visual trickery used in the theatre, cinema, television, video games, amusement parks, and simulator industries to recreate imagined occurrences in a tale or virtual world. Traditionally, special effects have been classified into two categories: mechanical effects and optical effects. The divide between special effects and visual effects has expanded with the advent of digital filmmaking, with the latter referring to digital post-production and optical effects. During live-action filming, mechanical effects (also known as practical or physical effects) are generally achieved. Mechanized props, scenery, scale models, animatronics, pyrotechnics, and atmospheric effects are all examples of this.
