Types of Visual Effects
Motion Capture
(Mo-Cap)
This process could be used for other things other than for film making. It simply means the process of recording the movement of an objects or a person.
For a film maker, Mo-Cap is used to record a live action and use that information to fed back into the software to give as realistic a digital performance as possible.
Physical Simulators
Physical simulation softwares uses the law of physics to generate motion of figures and other objects. They are also used to create Dynamical simulations without having to know anything about physics.
Physion is a good example of an phusical simulation software. Please click this image to see how it works

Digital Compositing
Layer-Based Compositing :
Simply, layers of video on top of each other. There’s a timeline, with each video on its own track, and so on.
Adobe After Effects is the ultimate layer-based compositing application.layer-Based compositing wouldnt exit if it wasnt for Adobe
After Effects.
Node-Based Compositing :
A Node is anything that changes a signal.
Node-based compositing represents an entire composite as a tree graph, linking media objects and effects in a procedural map, intuitively laying out the progression from source input to final output.
