Light & Magic

I can finally begin my filmmaking journey. This docu-series taught me so much about how visual effects and cinematography can shape a viewers prespective. And how one scene can be shot at different angles and themes for it feel different or how you want to make audience feel about a certain scene. Even if you're not into directing or flimmaking, this series can provide you an insight on how things atually work or worked back then.

Wish Disney understood Star Wars like George Lucas did, but I guess that ship has sailed.

When I was a kid my parents got me a book for Christmas called Industrial Light and Magic and it detailed how the company made special effects shots for movies.

Anyways it really inspired me at a young age to go into entertainment... movie making... etc.

So it was awesome to see that book sort of get transcribed to a short series like this. Super cool to see the footage and the photos of these guys come to life. I knew who everyone was going into this so it was extra special to see.

Great show. If you love movies and the process that goes into them this is just a must see.

Honestly knowing how these effects are done and the hard work went into them makes it all that much more magical for me...

I have to agree with the superlatives in the other reviews. We sit through long credits in titles to see hints for our next film in a series. We do not really pay attention to the crafts folk who give us this magic. The starring column allows us to access the filmography for these innovators. So many entertaining films credited to these artists. Hope there is a season 2.

I am blowing away while watching these unhuman talents as designer. It doesn't matter if you are into Star Wars, you have to watch this! This is the untold stories how your childhood was made.

At the end of the documentary brought me to tears. This is what filmmaking is about, and what should inspire younger generations to carry on this legacy. I'm inspired too.
