ILM – Celebrates 40 Years of Creating the Impossible

In 1975 George Lucas formed Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) to create the special effects for his space opera Star Wars. Since that time, ILM has contributed to over 300 films in the process earning 15 Academy Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Visual Effects and 28 Scientific and Technical Achievement from the Academy.

Stunning. Stuff like this fuels my fire to be a filmmaker.
Thank you, George Lucas

Absolutely fitting to conclude the clip with Star Trek... for everything the Star Trek franchise represents, the future, exploration, going where no one has gone before, pushing the boundaries of interstellar travel, and postulating utopian scenarios.
ILM, pushing the boundaries of creativity, making fantasy a reality... at least visually.

[ayby]

I still think the Transformers are their best work ever. So much detail on them and all at the same time! Love it!

[OneAndOnlyMe]

My childhood, thanks for such wonderful memories.

[Figanimationinc-gyeh]

Happy 40th anniversary ILM! Keep up the good work!

[MadRotwang]

The very first shot ILM ever completed was the escape pod launch from Star Wars.  I'm surprised it was left out.

[kurtgoetzinger]

Thank you for 40 years of inspiring creativity in millions of us.
