Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) compositing supervisor Todd Vaziri demonstrated the "hidden" digital effects in blockbuster movies in a Vanity Fair video. These often-unnoticed effects enhance the cinematic experience, going beyond obvious CGI elements like spaceships and monsters. For instance, Vaziri detailed adding swirling sand during a chase scene in The Force Awakens and even a tiny image of Rey in the Millennium Falcon's cockpit, which, while subtle, contributes to the overall realism. He also discussed manipulating physics, such as how water falls off the Enterprise in Star Trek Into Darkness, to make scenes look visually optimal, even if it means digitally altering natural behavior. These intricate, often invisible, effects highlight the extensive work of VFX artists in film production.
