It's infamous in VFX circles as one of the shows that hugely inflated studios' expectations of how much work was achievable in a tiny timescale. Of course it was only possible because of some of the genius talent involved, many of whom had worked together for years, and Spielberg having a crystal clear vision for what he wanted, which all the subsequent rushed post schedules utterly failed to replicate!

It also helped that Spielberg shot all of the VFX heavy sequences first, to give ILM as much time as possible to complete the film. Even still, it was noted at the time that the film was still shooting when they dropped the Super Bowl ad that had completed visual effects in it.

That would definitely make sense.
If there’s one director I would say has a clear vision of what he wants and has extensive knowledge of working with VFX, it’s Spielberg
