Light & Magic

At the end of the documentary brought me to tears. This is what filmmaking is about, and what should inspire younger generations to carry on this legacy. I'm inspired too.

I never knew what binge-watching meant until I appearantly did it myself yesterday 😄 Of course this docu is not for everyone, I mean, you need to love watching 6 hrs of special effects geeks, but I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. The whole thing is a funny, in-depth piece of Heroin For Geeks. What a time it must have been for all these friendly geniuses to work on Star Wars from their little hippie commune. I just couldn't switch this time machine off. Loved it. The definitive, ultimate doc on movie special effects. Edlund, Dykstra, Lucas and all you pioneering heroes: I salute you!

When I was a kid my parents got me a book for Christmas called Industrial Light and Magic and it detailed how the company made special effects shots for movies.

Anyways it really inspired me at a young age to go into entertainment... movie making... etc.

So it was awesome to see that book sort of get transcribed to a short series like this. Super cool to see the footage and the photos of these guys come to life. I knew who everyone was going into this so it was extra special to see.

Great show. If you love movies and the process that goes into them this is just a must see.

Honestly knowing how these effects are done and the hard work went into them makes it all that much more magical for me...

Everybody know George Lucas but we never knew all the people involved in Industrial light and magic and Star Wars. They are all legends and I don't think there will ever be a story like this again and how wonderful these unknown people are.

I can finally begin my filmmaking journey. This docu-series taught me so much about how visual effects and cinematography can shape a viewers prespective. And how one scene can be shot at different angles and themes for it feel different or how you want to make audience feel about a certain scene. Even if you're not into directing or flimmaking, this series can provide you an insight on how things atually work or worked back then.

Wish Disney understood Star Wars like George Lucas did, but I guess that ship has sailed.
