Menengok Kembali Eksistensi Visual Effect Film Indonesia

Arif Sulistiyono

Abstract


Abstrak
Visual effect film dunia saat ini sudah mencapai tingkat pencapaian tertinggi yang mampu
membuat semua yang tidak mungkin menjadi mungkin, baik yang berdasarkan kenyataan,
realita, sampai dengan yang bersifat imajinatif. Visual effect (VFX) atau efek visual hampir
selalu hadir dalam film-film bergenre action yang mampu membuat penonton benar-benar
yakin bahwa adegan tersebut adalah nyata, tak terkecuali untuk film-film buatan Indonesia.
Namun, selama tiga dekade eksistensi efek visual di Indonesia, realita perkembangannya jauh
tertinggal dibanding kualitas efek visual film Holywood baik dari sisi estetika maupun teknik.
Masih banyak film Indonesia yang tidak meyakinkan dari sisi efek visualnya sehingga tidak
cukup membuat penonton percaya bahwa adegan yang dihadirkan seolah-olah nyata atau tidak
mempunyai efek realitas. Bahkan beberapa efek visual film/sinetron yang ditayangkan di salah
satu televisi swasta seringkali menjadi bahan cemoohan karena nampak jelas kepalsuannya.
Sumber daya bidang animasi dan visual effect di Indonesia sesungguhnya sangat memenuhi
syarat dan mampu membuat efek visual setara dengan produksi Holywood, namun pada
kenyataannya selalu ditemukan faktor klasik yang menghambatnya antara lain faktor
kesempatan dan pembiayaan.

 

Looking Back the Existence of Indonesia Film’s Visual Effects. The film’s visual effects are
now reaching the highest level of achievement that is able to make all the impossible becomes
possible, whether based on fact, reality, to the imaginative nature. Visual effects (VFX) or
visual effect almost always presents in the action films genre that are able to make the audience
really believe that these scenes are real, not least for films made in Indonesia. However, during
the three decades of the existence of the visual effects in Indonesia, the reality of development
is far behind the quality of visual effects of Hollywood movies both in terms of aesthetics and
engineering. There are still many Indonesian films which are not convincing in terms of visual
effects that do not quite make the audience believe that the scene is presented as if it is real
or not have the effect of reality. Even some of the visual effects of the film / soap opera that
aired on a private television is often played as the subject of ridicule for obvious falsehood.
Resources field of animation and visual effects in Indonesia actually highly qualified and able
to create visual effects on par with Hollywood production, but in fact, the classical factor that
hinders among other factors and financing opportunities are always found.
