10 CGI Movie Moments NOBODY Noticed

10. Max's Digitally Erased Earpiece - Mad Max: Fury Road

Though director George Miller tried to achieve as much of Mad Max: Fury Road in-camera as possible, there's no denying the extensive amounts of VFX work employed to bring the filmmaker's madcap vision to life.

Yet there's an effect which appears in many of the movie's shots that you've surely never noticed - the digital erasure of Tom Hardy's earpiece.

No, Hardy wasn't wearing an earpiece throughout shooting so he didn't have to learn his lines - Miller originally shot a scene where Hardy's Max finds an old earpiece and puts it in his ear, the implication being that it would help drown out the manic voices in his head.

However, Miller decided during post-production to scrap this facet of Max's character, requiring the VFX team to paint out the earpiece in every single subsequent shot showing his right ear.

In addition to the above set photo showing the earpiece, if you look very, very closely at his ears throughout the movie, you can occasionally see digital imperfections where the erasure didn't fully take.

Yet to 99.999% of people who have no idea about any of this, it's basically impossible to spot.
