Tenet Probably Has Less CGI Than Most Rom-Coms, Says Christopher Nolan

Director Christopher Nolan has suggested that Tenet probably has fewer visual effects than a typical romantic comedy. Collider reports that Nolan, who is renowned for his preference of using practical effects over CGI, revealed in an interview with ICG Magazine that his commitment to shooting Tenet largely in-camera resulted in a substantially low VFX shot count. "The visual side of the film is huge in scale, but our VFX shot count is probably lower than most romantic comedies," Nolan told the publication.

"Visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson was responsible for coming up with our safety net," Nolan explained further.
