Please keep bringing in all these old hands from VFX, not just because it's cool, but because you're capturing the history. Stuff that's at real risk of being lost or forgotten. You're creating an oral history of VFX here, and that's really important.

Thank you for all the great comments we shot more hope they put another one together. We have many more film we didn't get to cover .It takes so many people to do these films . I'm lucky to have a hand and say so on them. William Mesa

I was on the Army Of Darkness set for those effects and it was a blast. Bill had to run back and forth between different sets to keep up withall the different shots going on. He always seemed very chill and calm in the midst of the chaos

[HardCodedGaming]

The world is truly a brighter place for having such a wacky, fun movie as Army of Darkness in it. Thank you, Mr. Mesa!

[ioldanach]

Always wanted you guys to break down Army of Darkness, scenes but bringing in the mad that did the shots, too? Hell yeah!
