One female protagonist and you denounce you're ready to burn your whole childhood... You are secure in your masculinity there, you sad sad mad mad little little manchild...
I was having a conversation only today about way too much green screen in movies right now, and mentioned that special effects of yesteryear really made a movie come alive in such a positive way. Current digital overload in some movies ends up making the overall production seem weak. 😢 Less is more!
This passage at beginning was emotional. It was as an true story. Thank you Mister Georges Lucas for this experience in an real movie theater. Special effects were exceptionnals.
Going old school in the 2000s they released a box set of the original trilogy it came with four DVDs the 4th was about all the behind-the-scenes stuff as well as the casting for the movie filming, the sequels the toys sound effects and the fandom. If anybody can track that down it's worth a watch it's about 4 hours.
This is my favourite movie hands down. Irvin Kershner was the king of sequels 👑 this and Robocop 2 are possibly my top 2🤷♂️ both made me always want to do stop motion animation
Phill actually directed a few stop motion movies of his own over the last two decades which were cinematic adaptations of popular novels such as Fantastic Mr Fox and Isle Of Dogs! :)
Phill also did a stop motion test for Jurassic Park however a top CG artist known as Spaz who worked at Industrial Light And Magic also did a CG dinosaur test and in the end Steven Spielberg made the decision to fire Phill from the project and to instead go with ILAM’s CG for the dinosaurs because of how impressed he was with the CG test even though he initially highly doubted the CG would look good enough for the movie! :)
For your information, Phil was not "_fired_" from JP. Check the credits! He was listed as "Dinosaur Supervisor" and was responsible for a lot of work, done by him and his Studio personnel. He also supervised all of the Dinosaur movement performances for the film. Tippett Studio developed the D.I.D. (Digital Imput Device, or "Dinosaur" Input Device) which worked like a Stop-Motion armature with potentiometers at each of the main joints. That set-up allowed the hand adjusted/animated positions of the poseable "skeleton" to be imputed into the computer. In effect, many of the Dinosaur action scenes (the T-Rex night attack, the Velociraptor kitchen scene, etc.) were done with an approach very similar to this kind of Stop-Motion. Good digital animators were few and far between in the day, so they developed the D.I.D. rig so that Stop-Motion animators, like Randy Dutra and Tom St.Amand could use their Stop-Motion style animation skills with a digital interface-to-computer approach. The only thing fundamentally different in this process is that the armature rig was not photographed traditionally with an aesthetically finished and painted animation figure, made to actually photograph on the stage as a Dinosaur. pbs.twimg.com/media/FYJhUzLUUAAE4m9.jpg:large Craig Hayes - Tippett Studio D.I.D. engeneer with the T-Rex rig : vfxblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/b41e4-craighayes_did.jpg Background: vfxblog.com/dinosaurinputdevice/ Get your facts right before pontificating, please.

I didn't even realize it was stop motion at the time. Holy mackerel.
Dude really? What did you think that they were using real Taun Tauns.? Lol😅
Mackerel has nothing to do with it.
Rest in Peace, Star Wars. You were one of my favorite movies of all time.

This is really magic, amazing results without cgi
That's why I hate episode 2 and 3 everything is CGI... Background and everything
Ray Harryhausen perfected this technique
Watching this, I palpably still feel the joy of seeing Empire on opening night.
Mark Hamil what happened to you.
He went to the dark side (Disney)
Uncle Ray would be proud.
The coolest stop motion ever, as good as the original king Kong movie.

Star wars 50 years ahead of its time unbelievable
You do realize it was based on Buck Rogers, and every other sci-fi fictional novel that came before it...
@v4v819 I mean the picture it still looks good nowadays even with all the technology we have.
Could watch this all day
One has to admire the patience and diligence involved!

Every new Star Wars Movie needs this type of handmande Special Effects again to give life to this Universe..
The only two stars wars movie i like, the empire strikes back and this one
Still magic and still the best star wars movie
I remember that first scene with Luke and the ice monster, and knew right then that Empire was another home run
Make Mark's tauntaun move !!! Yeah baby, yeah
A classic era of cinema. Pity the new star wars are so poor in all creative storytelling.
Hate to admit it; but it felt like stop motion when I watched it the 1st time; loved it all the same.
Special effect studio in San Fran? Now the entire city of San Franshitsco look like a special effects studio for zombies.

Feels like yesterday
Iam still love stop motion. It’s just an awesome piece of art
Old school, but very good 👌👍

I can't get over the method. If they screw up, they have to do the whole thing again.
Would love to see them do a few movies using these techniques

Didn't look like stop motion at the time. More like pure fricking magic.
How do they keep track of what's been moved and how much?
Seems painfully dull to do, but the results are amazing.
They really need to put the theatrical cuts onto disney plus, whats the point of streaming if you cant watch exactly what you want
¿Industrial Light and magic?😳👌
A time when special effects were special.
Still better than cgi
Carrie Fisher in rotj made my tauntaun move with far less effort.
Awesome.
Thanks Phil! Great stuff! -Sue
This is way better than c.g.i... movie makers.. take notes 😅😅
ILM. Kearney Blvd. San Rafael, CA.
This is better then Cgi.
Ahhh correction that's Han Solo not Luke, Mark....
It just isn't fair...!
Watch MAD GOD.
ron ton ton

Tiny moving parts!
Simply brilliant
Jim henson who 🤔🧐
You mean the ton to wasn't real.lol
CGI HAS ABSOLUTELY RUINED MOVIES!!!🚮
Yup
