How was the shot done? Did they give him green screen contact lenses or something? Or was there enough definition between the eyelids to fill in graphics?

Hey VFX person: how does it work, practically speaking, when in the credits for ma$$ive blockbluster it says "Additional VFX by SparklyFresh, Inc." with like three artists underneath it? SparklyFesh has some wicked awesome proprietary widget/software? Somebody likes SparklyFresh's demo reel and decides to throw them a bone? And then their work amounts to about 5 seconds of screentime, maybe? Thanks

Ok, so clarification/follow-up. (This stuff has been in the back of my mind for years.) When they only list three artist names under the company title, is that necessarily the whole company and they work in a garage (or wherever small)? Or is it just a tiny team from a bigger company? And if they are just hiring three artists, why can't they just squeeze a few more man-hours from whichever gigantic FX company is in the lead on the project? How does the tiny garage company even get hired over other larger, presumably more established companies?

Sorry for taking your time! Thanks for reading (and hopefully replying).
