How to plan for VFX (Visual Effects) Shots! - Film Making for Newbs

Thank you! Thank you so much

Thanks for all the information sir! I have a shortfilm I will be making and need two short (and one 6-8 second) vfx shot(s) for. One in particular I want to "quality control" as it were, is an afternoon shot in a vast interior space that has fully dispersed, warm, bland lighting. I will have a plate shot with far field background and a portion of wall as foreground and this vfx shot is a jumpscare of a creature of some sort. I know that day time vfx is much more difficult to make it look realistic. Do you have any tips on how to light the area or prepare perhaps a stand in live action asset in order to make my cg asset sit into the environment naturally? Thanks for the artist suggestion on upwork as well. Been using fiverr and they are pretty decent, but I'll have some money to blow so I want some high quality horror vfx. Thanks in advance!
