10 CGI Moments In Recent Movies You DEFINITELY Missed

As absurdly entertaining as RRR is, few who've seen it would argue that the VFX are invisible: the action has a heightened, stylised look which draws regular attention to the CGI, especially where the film's bevy of digital animals are concerned.

Yet the most consistently subtle area of VFX is surely set extensions, where skilled filmmakers - perhaps most famously David Fincher and Martin Scorsese - can deploy comprehensive effects work to radically alter backdrops to look more lavish or "cinematic."

And RRR did a fantastic job using VFX to create a number of ornate buildings which were either considerably smaller in reality or simply didn't exist.

This is no more impressively executed than with the palatial British HQ featured prominently throughout. Though you'd quite reasonably assume that these scenes were indeed shot at a real palace or stately home somewhere, that's actually not true at all.

The palace grounds were in fact a set created specifically for the film, and only a small portion of the palace - the front facia containing the steps - was indeed real.

Everything on the sides was created in post-production, while the palace interiors were shot elsewhere. Yet the seam between the on-set elements and the digital fakery is so brilliant you'd never be able to guess.
