Here are 20 techniques filmmakers can use to create believable special effects on a budget:

1. *Practical Effects*: Use physical props, pyrotechnics, and makeup to create realistic effects.
2. *CGI Alternatives*: Opt for creative camera angles, lighting, and editing to achieve desired effects without CGI.
3. *Miniatures*: Build scale models to create realistic sets, vehicles, or structures.
4. *Stop-Motion Animation*: Use frame-by-frame animation for unique, stylized effects.
5. *Matte Painting*: Create digital backgrounds to extend sets or create environments.
6. *Green Screen*: Use chroma keying to composite actors into different environments.
7. *In-Camera Effects*: Utilize camera techniques like lens flares, motion blur, or deliberate focus shifts.
8. *Lighting*: Leverage lighting to create mood, atmosphere, and enhance effects.
9. *Sound Design*: Use sound effects, Foley, and music to enhance visual effects.
10. *Costume Design*: Create costumes that enhance character appearance and believability.
11. *Prosthetics*: Use custom-made prosthetics for realistic injuries, aging, or creature effects.
12. *Pyrotechnics*: Use controlled explosions, fire, or smoke for realistic effects.
13. *Forced Perspective*: Use optical illusions to create depth or size differences.
14. *DIY Props*: Create props using affordable materials like foam, fabric, or 3D printing.
15. *Crowd Simulation*: Use extras, clever editing, and camera angles to create large crowds.
16. *Particle Simulation*: Use software to simulate realistic particle effects like dust, water, or fire.
17. *Texture and Shading*: Use detailed textures and shading to enhance CGI elements.
18. *Motion Capture*: Record actor movements to create realistic character animations.
19. *Compositing*: Combine multiple elements into a single shot using software like Adobe After Effects.
20. *Collaboration*: Work closely with special effects teams, editors, and cinematographers to ensure cohesive visuals.
These techniques can help filmmakers achieve impressive special effects without breaking the bank.
