Apparently they kept the bearded and non-bearded people strictly separated from each other.

Man, I would have killed to have been there! Dam myself for living in the UK!

So did you have access to the 3D deep data from the live action to help composite over and behind actors for example?

Apparently women are not allowed in this industry..

Women worked in key roles on Force Awakens' special and visual effects, and in the other technical departments. I'm sure they got there the same way the men did, through decades of hard work perfecting their skills and honing their craft.

Getting work in motion-pictures is difficult for EVERYONE. A fraction of people who dream of working on motion-picture visual/special effects actually get to do it.

I dont know how they exactly do that video, but if they tell me to do that I would:
1. Make a text with a color of the lights and add a glow to it.
2. Make an animation of "expanding" them from that blob to a text.
3. Track the lights on that video with a build-in tracker or Mocha AE.
4. Paste the lights on a correct position with pre-composed animation (step 2).
5. Add blur that would match effect You want to achieve.
--
Notice: these lights might be faked, I mean It could be just very small text that expands later.

Its all about the bokeh in your camera, try to watch this tutorial.

I saw this a while go, it appears to be a practical effect rather than AE..Here's how someone else did it.

you can use frischluft and set a custom bokeh shape, renders really slow though

(you can see I did it at the beginning of this video at around 0:11)

I wasn't a big fan of the holograms in the new star wars. Even the prequels made an effort to make them look pixilated and broadcast like. The new ones look more like Harry Potter magic... Refractive holograms? The f**k
