You Never Knew How Much CGI These Shows and Movies Really Used

Interstellar

You might be surprised to learn that Interstellar was filmed without the use of green screens. Nolan shot the entire film on a single handheld IMAX camera. Although the film does indeed take place in space (and beyond), Interstellar largely avoided CGI in favor of detailed physical sets and 60-foot projections of space on the set backgrounds. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the film won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
