Halb Mensch. Halb Ding.

The whole company was sent packing for their annual summer vacation today (as per tradition, a thunderstorm over Copenhagen is welcoming them). I’ll be working throughout most of the next three weeks, with the exception of a short stint to England, for a friend’s wedding, as Rikke and I have finally manned up and gone ahead with our plan for a roadtrip through California (and parts of Arizona).
And the hits just keep on coming. David Berry, credited as an ‘optical print operator’ on IMDB has posted an extraordinary ten-minute home video of ILM in the years 1976 to 1978, with everything from actual behind-the-scenes of effects, models and what not, to the oscars and even some leisure time.
Man I love the internets.
PS: Rubin covered the beginnings (and ehm… everything else about ILM) from page 63 and forward in Droidmaker).
