Revisit Some of ILM's Best Movie Moments in 40th Anniversary Video
It's rare that you can point to one specific company that changed the world of entertainment forever, but perhaps more than any other, Industrial Light & Magic is that company. George Lucas' visual effects company redefined what was possible in the '70s when Star Wars came out, and since then it's gone on to continually push the boundaries of technological advancements in blockbuster films. It's safe to say all of our childhoods would have been totally different if ILM never existed.
The company is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and in addition to a nice cover and oral history of its creation in Wired Magazine, there's also a quick little montage of some of ILM's best movie moments. I'd love to see a longer version of something like this that highlights more of their work, but this is still a nice reminder of how much impact they've had on the landscape of modern moviemaking.
