Holy crap! This video is amazing.
Dave Berry, one of the rotoscope and animation artists who worked on the original Star Wars film from 1977, apparently skulked around the Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) workshop back in the day, shooting home-video of the experimental, ground-breaking special effects filmmaking work in progress. Now just imagine, he’s probably had to keep all of this footage under lock and key, held tightly for over 30 years for fear of battling the Sith lords of Lucasfilm’s legal department. Luckily for us, he’s compiled a little bit of it now and posted somewhat of a nostalgic montage over at Vimeo. Sadly, there’s no embed code to be found, so I’ll just send you over there to check it out.
The video is really worth watching and seriously worth having on whatever eventual Star Wars Blu-ray collection Lucas deigns to offer up to us. Let’s hope Dave has got a lot more of this stuff locked in a vault somewhere, just waiting to find a new home on our Blu-ray discs! Let’s also pray that he doesn’t get sliced in two by a lightsaber for having it!
Head over to Dave Berry’s Vimeo channel to check out the video before it vanishes into the Force like Obi-wan!: 5757
