Abstract:
For Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Industrial Light and Magic had to create a vast amount of effects simulation shots to make the story envisioned by the filmmakers believable. The film posed not only highly technical challenges to the effects team, but also strong aesthetic requirements in order to deliver such an anticipated movie.
From massive spaceships taken down during space battles to simulating interactions between characters and the various environments, a wide range of techniques and new developments had to be created to deal with the huge amount of work across all four of the company’s facilities.
