A new special 10 episode series of the befores & afters podcast focuses on Industrial Light & Magic, with the fifth episode featuring an interview with Ben Morris, Creative Director of ILM London, initially conducted for the Industrial Light & Magic: 50 Years of Innovation book.
I chat this week to Ben Morris, creative director at ILM London, having worked for several years at Framestore previously. Here we jump into two of the large projects he helped oversee at ILM, which were Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and ABBA Voyage. We go into the innovations required on those projects, and we explore ILM’s move into things like immersive concert and other experiences.
Here’s a quick quiz: Name the company that made VFX for these movies?
E.T., Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Abyss, Terminator 2,, Forest Gump, The Mask, Twister, Mission Impossible, Spawn, Speed II, Saving Private Ryan, The Perfect Storm, AI, Minority Report, Cowboys and Aliens, Lucy, Kong: Skull Island, The Revenant, The Batman, Alien: Romulus and Running Man?
Thanks for inspiring us, ILM.
Order the excellent Industrial Light & Magic: 50 Years of Innovation book from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
