* ''Franchise/StarWars'': In the original trilogy (''Film/ANewHope'', ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', and ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''), underlighting is used to provide the glow of lightsabers, blaster shots, and Palpatine's force lightning; for the lightsabers, the underlit portions were rotoscoped over prop swords. The prequels and sequels would switch to CGI for these effects due to advancements in technology in the years since ''Return of the Jedi'' released.
