Overview:

When we think of visual effects in games, we tend to think of fire and pretty explosions. In this talk, Dave Samuel explains the communication, and the process of iteration of Visual Effects. The talk goes over specific art and design problems in Red Faction: Armageddon, that were aided with the help of visual effects and a look into the iterative process leading to why effects look a certain way.
