BEHIND THE SCENES: LOSING THE PLOT!


Amongst his dedicated team for the new and then upcoming Prequels, George Lucas brings mirth to the ILM planning room as he loses his mindset whilst going over which scenes/images will handled via live action and which will be models or CGI, during the ambitious 1996/97 pre-production stages for EPISODE I, looking over 3,500 storyboards at a special effects team meeting. We imagine J.J. Abrams and co. are going through similar territory for EPISODE VII as we speak...

“I think he’s waiting until the technology is both sophisticated enough and affordable-and it’s just about reached that point.”
