AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: ROCK COLLECTION!

 

Steve Gawley at ILM with a variety of Asteroids. 

We'd seen asteroids and asteroid fields in science fiction film and TV before, but never realised like this-natural and out of control, dangerous and of varying sizes spread throughout a field at the edge of the Hoth system and soon rushing against the Millennium Falcon and pursuant TIE fighters. ILM's model team for Empire would create a diverse arrange of rock bodies for filming, including some humorous shapes to look out for, some of which are presented here.


Ken Ralston prepares lighting readings for filming.



Dennis Muren and Steve Gawley have fun.
