Eine 10-minütige Featurette über die Computer-Animationen, die Larry Cuba vom Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) (damals noch Circle Graphics Habitat) an der University of Illinois in Chicago für “Krieg der Sterne / Star Wars” [USA 1977, George Lucas] erstellte. Thema sind hier die Computer-Animationen der originalen Kinofassung aus dem Jahr 1977 und nicht die nachträglich eingefügten Digital-Effekte der 1997er “Special Edition”.

Larry Cuba über das Video:

This “making of” video was originally produced for my personal presentations as I was often asked to explain the process (back in the 70s and 80s when it was still obscure).
Lucasfilm was vigilant in protecting its copyrighted material but OK’d this video at the time, since i had no intention of distributing it. (although copies apparently escaped) I wonder what they would say, now that the EVL in Chicago has resurrected it (after 30 years!) and posted it on YouTube.
