But it's interesting to read that Lucas was a major pioneer in the field. For the several decades now, movies have relied on using computer animation to help convey images that cannot be created with conventional props, and these movies all owe their thanks in part to Lucas. Not only was George ahead of his time in terms of his story telling and cinematography, he was also ahead of the capabilities of technology in the film industry. He is a great example of a creative mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274957766969592551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-68196468714510490812016-03-22T21:26:27.598-07:002016-03-22T21:26:27.598-07:00I found this very interesting especially all the t...I found this very interesting especially all the talk about special effects in the original Star Wars movies. What I think is especially weird, funny, and maybe creative is that there is now a huge shift away from special effects. I don't know if you've seen the movie Interstellar, but Christopher Nolan made the decision to shoot with no green screens at all. He said that in the long run special effects just don't hold up and he'd rather shoot organically. I think that's rather neat. Obviously some things were added in that movie but almost all the space ship scenes were shot with stars or space projected in the background!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06783047036621238136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-49471951019586845062016-03-17T08:05:35.179-07:002016-03-17T08:05:35.179-07:00I LOVE Star Wars, and so this post was such a grea...I LOVE Star Wars, and so this post was such a great insight into the creativity and ingenuity of George Lucas. The fact that his movies were continually recognized by the cream-of-the-crop Academy is a testimony to just how influential Lucas has been. And 39 Academy Awards??? (I think I calculated that right) - That is so incredible.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11071601712383537929noreply@blogger.com
