In addition for ebooks:Instead of interior design, ebooks require careful work with files to ensure that e-readers interpret the file correctly, showing a heading where they should, etc.Ebooks can require different versions of covers, so that the cover is readable in black and white and tiny.They require additional metadata.Instead of delivery of the physical book, they require delivery of files, at any time of day or night, holidays included, especially if publishers sell ebooks directly.They require additional file-conversion and proofing/testing steps not needed by print-only books. The more books you want to sell, the more different formats this might need to be done in.Instead of figuring out reprint timing, correct and reissue ebook files.Ebooks do not require managing of unsold books or non-traditional store sales (though that might not be true for long). They will, I think, eventually no longer have foreign-territory rights sales, as the model for contracts shifts, but there are advantages to those on the marketing side: local knowledge matters - the market for a book may react different in, say, Australia than in the US.I think that about covers most of it.

This is a sampling and nowhere near a complete list:PreCGI:George Melies films in general.The Lost World (1925): stop motion dinosaurs.MetropolisKing Kong (1933)The Shape Of Things to ComeWar of the WorldsThe Time MachineBen-Hur (1959)The BirdsMary Poppins20,000 Leagues Under The SeaAnything with Ray HarryhausenLogan’s Run2001: A Space OdyessySilent RunningClose Encounters of the Third KindWITH CG:Westworld (Not the HBO one) generated images from a computer, and printed onto paper for refilming.Star Wars used computer graphic to represent the plan for taking out the Death Star.Looker had a computer generated Susan Dey on a monitor display.Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan used rendering and procedural terrain to show the Genesis effect.Tron utilized CG for a lot (but not as much as you might think). Much of it was used to inform animators who were drawing on top.The Last Starfighter was key in pushing render techniques and film scanning.The Abyss water tentacles is a breakthrough in more organic models, rendering, and digital compositing.Young Sherlock Holmes had the first CG character…the stained-glass knight.Willow first used the morphing technique in a feature.Jurassic Park and Terminator 2:Judgement Day were huge advances in photoreal techniquesToy Story. First all CG feature film.Beyond that you get into everyone using CGI but here’s are some standouts:The Matrix… so many things, but Bullet Time stands out the most.Lord of the Rings… use of Massive for crowd simulations.Davey Jones in Pirates 2The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button: Photoreal CG character.DNeg’s use of theoretical mathematics to visualize a black hole in InterstellarDigital Domain’s use of machine learning in the animation for Thanos in Infinity War and Endgame.
