Just finished watching the whole video with Ben Burtt.
Its really so awesome and amazing how so much technology was created in that one building, stuff we all use today....stuff that kids don't even think about, as its so easy now.
Hearing him talk about the editdroid. I had never known they created that first, I always thought it started with Avid. But checking the wiki of it, it says, The EditDroid was never a commercial success and after the close of The Droid Works in 1987 and subsequent redevelopment of the product for seven years, the software was eventually sold to Avid Technology 1993. Only 24 EditDroid systems were ever produced.
I remember a friend had gotten a pirated copy of Avid Xpress Pro back in 2002 and gave me a copy. What a game changer that was. Learning that really opened a whole world for me. But, that version was so basic, that I finally switched to Adobe Premiere by 2009. I had already been using Photoshop anyways.
George gets a lot of heat for how the prequels turns out, and then selling to Disney....but still, just all the ideas for innovation he had and actually got so many people to make it a reality....it really is mind breaking to think all this has happened in barely 40 years.
I think a lot of us wouldn't be doing what we are doing without all of that which was created.
Super interesting to watch and can't wait to see what more videos like these that get made.
