Ok, so: These shot of the Enterprise-B from Star Trek Generations look amazing. It was 1994. And I hear someone say "Yes but it was 1994 ILM so they used models"... except these shots are 100% CGI BACK IN 1994 HOW IS IT POSSIBLE #startrek #ilm #cgi

LucasArts' The Dig was released 27 years ago.
This adventure game in space recycled an idea from Steven Spielberg, too ambitious for his show Amazing Stories (1985-1987). Available on Steam and Gog, and warmly recommended. #scifi #lucasarts #game #ILM #spaceship #spielberg

@ILMVFX@twitter.com The documentary highlights not only the technical exploit but also the scientific one, especially what Oppy and her twin Spirit brought to science and knowledge.
A film not to be missed!

On movie which really pushed me towards the #VisualEffects Industry has been Willow, by Ron Howard (1988).
I still remember going to the cinema with my dad to watch it.

That's why it's such a pleasure for me to rediscover these pictures today, including this photo of Georges Lucas very proud to hold a sword, or the living legend Phil Tippett and Denis Murren !

Another series of miniatures made by the magicians from Industrial Light and Magic for the movie Men in Black in 1997.
You will recognise the sequence in the tunnel when the car goes on the walls and the ceiling, and the sequence at the end where the recently discovered flying saucer crashes.
