Editing 70 mm film (section)

===Visual effects===
Limited use of 65&nbsp;mm film was revived in the late 1970s for some of the visual effects sequences in films like ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]'', mainly because the larger negative did a better job than 35&nbsp;mm negative of minimizing visible film grain during optical [[compositing]]. 65&nbsp;mm was the primary film format used at VFX pioneer [[Douglas Trumbull]]'s facility EEG (Entertainment Effects Group), which later became [[Boss Film Studios]], run by former [[Industrial Light & Magic]] alum [[Richard Edlund]]. Since the 1990s, a handful of films (such as ''[[Spider-Man 2]]'') have used 65mm for this purpose, but the usage of [[digital intermediate]] for compositing has largely negated these issues.  Digital intermediate offers other benefits such as lower cost and a greater range of available lenses and accessories to ensure a consistent look to the footage.
