Richly-illustrated study of the work of 'Industrial Light and Magic', the visual effects company founded by George Lucas in 1975 that has provided a range of special effects - with increasing technical sophistication - for dozens of Hollywood films such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Titanic, Transformers and Avatar. Arranged chronologically, film-by-film, the text is drawn entirely from the oral testimony of the technicians, explaining the challenges involved in each film and how the effects were created. Forewords are provided by directors Jon Favreau and Gore Verbinski, and there is a complete ILM filmography as well as a list of awards won by the company.
