Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the application of the field of computer graphics (or more specifically, 3D computer graphics) to special effects. CGI is used in movies, television programs and commercials, and in printed media. Video games most often use real-time computer graphics (rarely referred to as CGI), but may also include pre-rendered "cut scenes" and intro movies that would be typical CGI applications. These are referred to as FMV. ...more on Wikipedia about "Computer-generated imagery"

Morph target animation (or per-vertex animation) is a method of 3D computer animation that is sometimes used in alternative to skeletal animation. Morph target animation is stored as a series of vertex positions. In each keyframe of the animation, the vertices are moved to a different position. ...more on Wikipedia about "Morph target animation"
A render farm is a computer cluster to render computer generated imagery (CGI), typically for film and television visual effects. The rendering of images is a highly parallelizable activity, as each frame can be calculated independently of the others, with the main communication between processors being the upload of the initial source material, such as models and textures, and the download of the finished images. ...more on Wikipedia about "Render farm"
Secondary animation (or secondary motion) is the motion derived from primary motion, much like a ripple or jiggle of different parts of the body when a person walks. In Rocky, Sylvester Stallone is reported to have insisted that he really be punched to get the secondary motion correct, with his face distorted and rippling from the blow on the opposite side, and sweat flying off from the force of the blow. ...more on Wikipedia about "Secondary animation"

Visual effects (vfx) is the term given to a sub-category of special effects in which images or film frames are created or manipulated for film and video. Visual effects usually involve the integration of live-action footage with computer generated imagery or other elements (such as pyrotechnics or model work) in order to create environments or scenarios which look realistic, but would be dangerous, costly, or simply impossible to capture on film. They have become increasingly common in big-budget films, and have also recently become accessible to the amateur filmmaker with the introduction of affordable animation and compositing software. ...more on Wikipedia about "Visual effects"
