ILM was, and is, arguably the most influential VFX company the motion picture industry has ever spawned. From its very inception in 1976 the company, by being a vigorously pioneering company, did continuously push the technological possibilities in creating VFX (both produced in the traditional methods, as well as later on in the computerized methods) to their outermost boundaries, either by developing the technologies (computerized {{w|motion control photography}}) themselves, or by making the fullest use as pioneers of new technologies ([[CGI]]), developed by others.
⚫
ILM has provided special visual effects for over 300 films and television series. In addition to the ''Star Trek'' films listed above and the six ''Star Wars'' films, their motion picture credits include ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'', ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial'', ''Poltergeist'', ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'', ''Cocoon'', ''Back to the Future'' and its sequels (starring [[Christopher Lloyd]]), ''Who Framed Roger Rabbit'' (also starring Christopher Lloyd), ''Field of Dreams'', ''Ghostbusters II'', ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'', ''The Abyss'', ''The Hunt for Red October'', ''Total Recall'', ''Die Hard 2'', ''Ghost'', ''Terminator 2: Judgment Day'', ''Jurassic Park'' and its sequels, ''Forrest Gump'', ''Twister'', ''Mission: Impossible'', ''Men in Black'' and its sequel, ''Titanic'', ''Saving Private Ryan'', ''Galaxy Quest'', ''The Mummy'', ''Pearl Harbor'', ''The Bourne Identity'', ''Minority Report'', all of the ''Harry Potter'' movies, all three ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' films, ''The Day After Tomorrow'', ''The Bourne Supremacy'' and the [[J.J.

Their current projects include ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' and ''Iron Man'' for Paramount as well as ''Speed Racer'' and ''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'' for Warner Bros. Pictures.

In 2005, ILM moved their digital effects departments from Kerner Blvd. in San Rafael, California, to the Presidio in San Francisco. In that year Lucasfilm, Inc. made the conscious decision to split off the traditional visual effects departments from the CGI effects departments, as it decided to concentrate on the latter. The departments responsible for the physical aspects of ILM's visual effects (models and miniatures, pyrotechnics, etc.) remained in the original San Rafael facility and became their own independent company, [[Kerner Optical]]. ILM has a non-exclusive agreement with Kerner Optical which allows the two companies to work together on projects, including 2009's ''Star Trek''.

In 2012, ILM, as part of Lucasfilm Ltd., was acquired by the {{w|The Walt Disney Company}} in the process reuniting the company with [[Pixar]]. [http://articles.latimes.com/2012/oct/31/business/la-fi-ct-disney-lucasfilm-20121101] Pixar started out as the former Lucasfilm company "The Graphics Group", the company that was responsible for the creation of the very first full-textured CGI effect ever shown in the motion picture industry, the [[Genesis Device]] effect in ''The Wrath of Khan''.

Industrial Light and Magic logo

Industrial Light & Magic, or ILM, is a visual effects (VFX) company. Founded and owned by George Lucas, it was set up to provide effects for his movie Star Wars and quickly became a prolific effects house, working on numerous feature films, including doing visual effects sequences for the following Star Trek productions:

Additionally, many Star Trek films and television episodes featured stock footage from these projects, done by ILM, including:

Industrial Light & Magic, A Division of Lucasfilm Ltd. received credit as VFX company in the end credits of all seven season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Originally the company was hired only to built the first two Enterprise-D studio models for the TNG pilot "Encounter at Farpoint", but were eventually also contracted to produce the subsequent 69 shots with some 300 elements. (The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine Vol. 2, p. 38-39)

General history

ILM has provided "special visual effects" (an intermediate term they themselves invented in the mid-1980s to begin discriminating between visual effects and special effects} for over three hundred films and television series. In addition to the Star Trek films listed above and the six Star Wars films, their motion picture credits include Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Poltergeist, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Cocoon, Back to the Future and its sequels (starring Christopher Lloyd), Who Framed Roger Rabbit (also starring Christopher Lloyd), Field of Dreams, Ghostbusters II, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Abyss, The Hunt for Red October, Total Recall, Die Hard 2, Ghost, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Jurassic Park and its sequels, Forrest Gump, Twister, Mission: Impossible, Men in Black and its sequel, Titanic, Saving Private Ryan, Galaxy Quest, The Mummy, Pearl Harbor, The Bourne Identity, Minority Report, all of the Harry Potter movies, all three Pirates of the Caribbean films, The Day After Tomorrow, The Bourne Supremacy, and the J.J. Abrams-directed Mission: Impossible III. Their current projects include Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Iron Man for Paramount as well as Speed Racer and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for Warner Bros. Pictures.

John Knoll is one of the leading members of ILM. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's visual effects coordinator Judy Elkins worked at ILM as an animator on films such as Raiders of the Lost Ark and Poltergeist. Other past and present members of ILM who worked on Star Trek include Martin Brenneis, Loren Carpenter, Sean Casey, Ed Catmull, Brian Chin, Bob Diepenbrock, John Duncan, Scott Farrar, John Goodson, Mike Fulmer, Steve Gawley, Bill George, Alex Jaeger, Stewart Lew, Jeff Mann, Mark S. Miller, Steve Sanders, and Larry Tan.

ILM was, and is, arguably the most influential VFX company the motion picture industry has ever spawned. From its very inception in 1976 the company, by being a vigorously pioneering company, did continuously push the technological possibilities in creating VFX (both produced in the traditional methods, as well as later on in the computerized methods) to their outermost boundaries, either by developing the technologies (computerized motion control photography) themselves, or by making the fullest use as pioneers of new technologies (CGI), developed by others.

In 2005, ILM moved their digital effects departments from Kerner Blvd. in San Rafael, California, to the Presidio in San Francisco. In that year Lucasfilm, Inc. made the conscious decision to split off the traditional visual effects departments from the CGI effects departments, as it decided to concentrate on the latter. The departments responsible for the physical aspects of ILM's visual effects (models and miniatures, pyrotechnics, etc.) remained in the original San Rafael facility and became their own independent company, Kerner Optical. ILM has a non-exclusive agreement with Kerner Optical which allows the two companies to work together on projects, including 2009's Star Trek. [1]

In 2012, ILM, as part of Lucasfilm Ltd., was acquired by the The Walt Disney Company in the process reuniting the company with Pixar. [2] Pixar started out as the former Lucasfilm company "The Graphics Group", the company that was responsible for the creation of the very first full-textured CGI effect ever shown in the motion picture industry, the Genesis Device effect in The Wrath of Khan.
