Inside 1980s ILM
Thu, October 6, 2011 at 10:16 AM Today I wanted to show you a couple of old tv doccumentaries from the 80s that show the working techniques of the studio from the period covering the original three Star Wars films. This is where today's VFX industry came from and all of our contemporary visual tools are in some way equivalents of these "analog" versions. There's something magical about this glimpse into cinema's history and it's so cool seeing these master artists at work. Shout out to my internet buddy Cole Henley for reminding me about these, thank you Sir. Put the kettle on and have a sandwitch because these films are fried gold.

I would love to see some more
