Abstract:
"Creation of perceptual realism is a major goal of visual effects. The aim in using visual effects is not in recreating the world as it already exists because people can film it easily. Abstract worlds are often harder to create because a viewer can get confused on how to perceive imagery. In particular, Cubism is one of the most challenging visual styles for a viewer to decipher imagery because of an ambiguous sense of perspective. Therefore, visual effects techniques are one method that enable an artist to reinterpret and explore the tradition of a cubist space. Furthermore, the use of visual effects techniques allows a user to form an understanding of the principles of Cubism as well as to successfully convert the ideas to create an entirely new artwork."
