Introduction to Visual Effects

In the group In have chosen to mainly do the visual effects. I have chosen this as I have not done much visual effects so it is good practice and a skill I want to develop for the future.
Visual effects is a very diverse area and I am looking forward to developing new skills.

The groups project is set underwater so I need to research underwater effects. Things I will have to look at is light under water, this includes caustic rays, particles underwater (marine snow), underwater fog, (how far you can see underwater) and bubbles.
The software I will probably use is Maya and Adobe After Effects. I know After Effect better than Maya but have not used either of them for visual effects. I will have to do some tutorials for example Video Copilot for After Effects. I will have to find the Maya tutorials.
