I can go a whole week only actually physically speaking to my wife, my son, and maybe the FedEx guy, if I'm lucky. Everything, and I mean everything I do professionally is accomplished online.

How cool it must have been to create in a space with other like-minded talent.

 

[micdavis]

Way cool. Thanks.

Saw this a while back, way cool. I wish someone had taken more footage of the models they were making back then.I love the two y - wings being kitbashed. I remember they day's when we dressed like that.....cough........cough ....i mean people dressed like that. This stuff should be on the blue ray release.

It's amazing how this kind of "lost" footage keeps turning up after all these years. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup

A flying Alex Funke!

Good spotting!

 

[vistaVision]

Good spotting!

Alex is probably the most talented person I've ever met! And I'm sure you'll agree, he is friendly, funny and so passionate about his work; he's always willing to share his knowledge with anyone who has interest. I've been fortunate to have worked with him on at least a dozen projects, including The Abyss, Total Recall and Starship Troopers. Ahhhh. The good ol' days...

So many with grooming issues. :lol

Like a bad 70's porno.

I have to say...I have a crush on Mary Lind. (Ever since I saw her on the "Making of Star Wars" book.)

Those "attributes" . Those freaking 70's glasses.


Mmmmmmmm.

No, their hair's fine. Hair was better then.

That's too big to be a mouse, must be a rat....

Alex, despite his enormous success, is the most humble person you'll ever meet. Not only that, but he's just a great, great guy (he must be to listen to my ramblings). I just love to talk "shop" with him, hear tales of his exploits in the film world (and elsewhere), and just take in the amazing history he has in the business. I've learned more in a day of being in his company, than weeks of film school. So, yeah, I completely agree.

And really, who else could I talk to for an hour 'bout a single shot from The Magnificent Ambersons?

I don't think such talent and enthusiasm for the art has ever assembled in one place like that except for when Stan Winston dined alone.:lol

Harryhausen> Winston, lol...

Back to ILM. Looks like the Red 3 pyro on that stand in the mouse shot. Wonder if Berry's got more model footage lying around somewhere...

Bunch of long-haired hippies.

Yep, Same here. I had never heard of her until I bought that book.

Seeing that this was uploaded to Vimeo four years ago, I'm sure there is a link on this forum to the video, but I can't seem to find it no matter what I search for.

So, check it out:

I think this is some of the same footage, but just in case:
