SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING<br />
The biggest set pieces in Jon Watts’s Spider-Man: Homecoming<br />
– such as the ferry sinking scene, the Washington Monument<br />
rescue and the Avengers airport tarmac battle – all relied<br />
heavily on visual effects. What might be considered an even<br />
bigger achievement, however, is the consistent appearance<br />
of a CG Spider-Man in both large stunt sequences and even<br />
smaller scenes.<br />
STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI<br />
The recent Star Wars films have made the most of the latest advancements<br />
in practical creature effects and digital visual effects.<br />
Sometimes the practical side is pushed harder in pre-release, but<br />
no one can question Industrial Light & Magic’s commitment to<br />
generating a dazzling array of digital space imagery, space creatures<br />
and space battles.<br />
