In 1999 the first Star Wars film in 15 years was released, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Despite the anticipation it was met with a lot of criticism over it's "Bad" CGI -- especially when the the original trilogy was so respected for its practical FX.

However, so many scenes from this film were actually groundbreaking and revolutionary, but ended up getting no credit for this - And no scene was more deserving of praise... than the Podracing Scene.

So what did the VFX artists do? How did they push the limits of CGI? and how did they change the next 20 years of VFX work?

To find out what happened I began researching into unique processes that made the Podrace possible.
