Star Wars Episode 8 The Last Jedi

Lucasfilm/Industrial Light and Magic 2017

VFX Art Director

With the follow up to The Force Awakens, I had the pleasure to work with Rian Johnson. Because Rian developed the story himself, he had a clear understanding of he wanted (and more importantly what he didn’t want). This helps an artist/designer achieve goals and find solutions much quicker. With that said, he also hoped for as much exploration as time would allow to grow the idea organically and not rely completely on science. After all George Lucas was quoted as saying “Star Wars is not Science Fiction, it’s fantasy.”
