To further expand upon the use of graphics in filmmaking, the TV series The Mandalorian utilized video wall technology as opposed to conventional green screens to develop immersive environments for on-set production. Pairing the camera with the digital environments created in Unreal Engine enabled the crew to do much of their shoots within a warehouse, saving on travel and dodging weather constraints. ILM, which had pioneered the VFX in Jurassic Park, was instrumental in this new development.

Another comment about VFX, I highly recommend learning from Corridor Crew on YouTube to see some behind-the-scene and breakdowns for how movies are made. I found their video on the making of Shang-Chi particularly interesting. The bus fight scene utilized 4 different buses located in different studios around the world with many green/blue screens, and it took over a year to complete this scene alone. There is also a software pipeline to prototype action shots in simulation before bringing in the real actors and their stunt doubles.
