Changing the signage in a location is a great way to make it fit for your movie.
You might consider doing this to remove logos you’re not allowed to use, or to make the location feel like another place or time period.
But not everyone is allowed to hang a new billboard, so VFX is a cost-effective solution.
You can use this technique to change what’s on a screen, window sign, movie poster, or giant billboard.
