Of all the mind-blowing visual effects present in Zack Snyder's epic Netflix film Army of the Dead, perhaps the most impressive is the one that's seemingly invisible.

We are, of course, talking about the decision to replace* one of the film's original actors (Chris D'Elia) with stand-up comedian Tig Notaro, who was added to the film well after principal photography had finished.

That not only meant the digital erasure of D'Elia from the movie, but also the digital insertion of Notaro, who had to film most of her part alone in front of a green screen.

In an effort to show the world just how much of an undertaking this decision was, Netflix has released an Army of the Dead VFX reel which gives us a look at how Notaro was inserted into the film and what went into making her inclusion so seamless.
