And this movie [Real Steel] definitely looks like nothing else I've made, which was the point. I think also, Evangeline and Hugh are such a fantastic... Their chemistry is so genuine. And also it's a good balance to all those visual effects. It'll give you more of the tone. -- Shawn Anthony Levy

The image isn't just created with the camera. That's just part one. The editor gets an imprint. The colorist does something to it. Visual effects does something to it.

The whole visual language of the movie is developed way before we get to set.

I don't necessarily think there's a difference in terms of how the film industry and the ad industry view visual effects.
