STAR WARS - Its not all CGI

[Stokesy44]

Star Wars productions are still using models for some shots in the new series being produced.

Check out the attached from renowned model maker Adam Smith.



And if you have Disney+, check out the series about the creation of ILM back in 76 for the original movie and how the company has evolved in the 50 years since. Amazing stuff.

Awesome. I have subscribed to Adam's channel already so will look up the above. I've also been fascinated by the motion control method of FX filming that ILM perfected for Star Wars and is still being used today. There are some great videos on how it works and the basic principles behind it. Its awesome geek stuff and the people involved are the rock stars of the FX industry over the last 50 years.
