It would have been much easier for the Imageworks team to make the stealth aircraft in I-Spy purely invisible. But even the impossible has to find some grounding in reality to keep the audience engaged in the story. Rather than pure invisibility, the Imageworks team looked toward theoretical research being done in stealth material design. The effect-- a skin that simulates invisibility by bending light and producing environmental reflections. Creating those ties to reality, no matter how small, affect higher standards of accuracy that ripple through every shot.
