I'm still on Season 1, so I saved the video to watch later, Ashley Renee Smith. Directors can use visual effects to do things with worldbuilding that might be impossible or too dangerous with practical effects. SILO stands out to me with its seamless VFX integration. And shows and movies like STRANGER THINGS, GAME OF THRONES, the TRANSFORMERS movies, and INTERSTELLAR.
