Cameron's decision to incorporate CGI to achieve the liquid metal villain was a huge risk. The CGI character from Cameron's previous film The Abyss (1989) was onscreen for only 75 seconds, and it took nine months of work to complete. The team from Industrial Light & Magic, headed by Dennis Muren, were not at all convinced that they could achieve what Cameron and the script demanded. ILM categorized the effects shots as: easy, moderate, difficult and miraculous. In total ILM created fifty effects shots which totaled 3.5 minutes of the film. The rest of the 300 effects in the film were handled by practical effects and astounding puppetry created entirely in-camera by Stan Winston Studio.
