Back in May of 2004 I posted that my friend Patrick was making a film and needed a lot of Studio Scale Star Wars models for a scene that takes place at ILM during the making of the first film back in 1977. A lot of you responded and despite the length of time it took for the funding to finalize, I'm here to report that it finally happened: the ILM sequence is now on film. Here are a few photos:
Before anyone throws an 'accuracy fit', the X-wings will only be seen hurtling to their doom as John Dykstra (played by an actor) slams them into a table, demonstrating how well they break up. The paint jobs don't have to be right, just close.
The thing to keep in mind when looking at these photos is the models are only props in the overall scenes that take place at ILM. The camera never lingers, but the way they shot the sequence, "its like going back in time".
These photos were sent to me by Rick Ingalsby, who did the Star Destroyer and was on hand for all the filming. I wanted to update the board as a lot of time has gone by and I think there are those who were wondering just what was going on.
