The visual effects department involve all forms of visuals for an episode of EastEnders, these include the cameras, opening titles and any added visual effects which rarely take place.
The department includes four main roles, these roles are:
Visual Effects Assistants - who focus on any effects which will be used on camera, these will be things like fires or explosions, making sure they'll look right on camera etc.
Digital Effects Artists - they specialize in the after effects which will be overlaid onto the shot, this could be enhancing features for explosions or other shots.
Title Designers - these are the men who designed the opening title, which has become an icon for the show, which the audience just has to glance at to associate the image with the show.
Vision Mixers - are used on sets where multiple cameras are used to film a sequence live, they will go through and mix the images together. They would have also been used for the live edition EastEnders had to mark their 25th anniversary.
The people that work in each of these roles are:
Visual Effects Assistant - Mickey Edwards.
Digital Effects Artist - Costas Charitou.
Titles Designers - Alan Jeapes (originally) and Peter Anderson (took up the role in 2009).
Vision Mixers - John Barclay, Hilary West and Tracy Bateman.
