A good example in the beginning of the video is the scene with the spaceship, all broken down in many layers. Starting from the background, being completely dark and mostly blank, we then see the additions of the moon, followed by it's own lighting effects and being partially blocked by another planet to make it look like an eclipse. The the planet at the bottom of the screen is one huge image plane, showing the mountains and later covered by another set of image planes for the clouds.
The spaceship is on a separate layer, which is also has it's own set of effects. First the footage is shown as a black silhouette-like state, until we see it is given some brighter effects composited on the ship. Additional light effects are added to the engines, to show they are on full power, while the effects for the outside of the ship are adjusted to show the moonlight being reflected whereabouts on the ship, while the darker shadowy tones are where the light does not touch. The visual effects composited on here also help make the spaceship become large and heavy while it travels through the background in this scene.
Another example in the video highlights a lot of image planes and textures that have been edited to be more transparent in the background to brighten or darken the tone when viewed in that shot.
