Software

The software set up used by special effect companies are usually standard. They use Maya for 3D work and Shake to composite. Most of the customisation is done by the artists bring . It is usually very subtle and allows the audience a chance to use their imagination too, instead of showing them everything explicitly.

Special effects teams consist of:
  Compositors
  Lighting TD
  Character TD
  Effects Animator
  Modeler
  Matchmove Artist
  Matte Painter
