Image Request - Lucas amidst his toys...

[PHArchivist]

Does anyone have an on-line image of the shot of George Lucas standing in the archives with all the props and models surrounding him?

Bumping this because I need it in a hurry...

I think there is a shot in the big ILM book but I don't have a scan of it.

I think there is a shot in the big ILM book but I don't have a scan of it.

It's in the first ILM book (The Art of Special Effects), not the second (Into the Digital Realm)... unfortuunately, I'm at work and the book is at home - otherwise I'd scan it for you...

I just scanned in a 2076 X 2862 of this into my computer from an OLD VHS tape I had kicking around.

It's not great, and it looks like it's scanned off a VHS box from the 80's, but better than nothing maybe?

Shoot me an e-mail if you want me to send you the big-a$$ version.

Are the books The Art of Special Effects and Into the Digital Realm any good?

I think so...

They're both very large (and heavy) coffee table books - very nice paper, hardcover, with some beautiful fold-out pages featuring widescreen composite shots from various films... a lot of the material may not be new information (especially now, as the first book was put out almost 20 years ago), but it's all put together in a very nice package...

Amazon's still got a few new copies left, and sells them both together for around $110 - well worth it, as the original retail was around $80 each - I don't think either of these was ever reissued in paperback....

BTW, the Lucas picture *is* in there, on page 42 - I'll see if I can get it scanned later...

I have the first book when it first came out and I loved it. Read the thing and enjoyed the pics for a good long time.

Sorry it took me a while, but some real-life stuff came up - if you still need a cood copy, here's a 2800x3500 scan from the book...

Life magazine, or perhaps it was Smithsonian magazine used this photo as well. I don't remember how it was cropped but it may be of use to you.
