In a special video, the senior compositor examines moments from a number of iconic films.
Industrial Light & Magic senior compositor Todd Vaziri recently joined Vanity Fair to break down classic visual effects shots from productions including Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023), Star Wars: Skeleton Crew (2024), Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), Transformers (2007), and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015).
“There’s a perception out there that digital effects are a black box, that it just gets shipped off and the directors are just handed this work,” Vaziri comments at one point in the video. “[That] couldn’t be further from the truth. We work directly with filmmakers to achieve their vision.”
