What is special effect?

Special effect refers to the image works (as in cinemas, television programmes and others) by which special effect technology is used abundantly. Since this is the taxonomy seen from the technical viewpoint, it is actually meant for science fiction and fantasy works which are converted into images. In overseas, Ray Harryhausen’s works are also famous in Japan, like “Thunderbird” and others.
