Disney A new visual effects approach for film production, which proved its worth in the new Star Wars franchise The Mandalorian , is inspiring production companies in mainland China and Hong Kong to experiment with the technology in hopes of making it mainstream for future local productions. The Mandalorian , the titular bounty hunter in the Disney+ live action TV series, moves between desert landscapes and futuristic interior environments, but the scenes were not shot on location, on a movie set, or using a green screen.
