How dare you entertain me consistently since I was 13 years old – Stephen Colbert interviews George Lucas, and it’s a good listen.
Old School Sci-Fi – Clifford D. Simak’s Junkyard .. aired in 1956
The case of one thing that leads to another – I was checking on Ridley Scott films ( I am seeing a lot of Martian lately )… from Ridley I somehow ended up on Dan O’Bannon and what inspired him developing the Alien story – one of the stories ended up being a “short story by Clifford D. Simak in which a crew lands on an asteroid and discovers a chamber full of eggs”.
I used to read a lot of Simak growing up and decide to look up the story.
And here it is:
Creating The Star Wars VFX from scratch, and by hand, on the Parking Lot
VFX: Going Behind The Magic, Episode 1: ILM Creating The Impossible
Chewbacca film is on the Hollywood Black List
Star Wars Throne Room Scene Minus John Williams – Extras Cough and The Wookiee Screams. It’s Priceless
Very loud video in the beginning.
You can skip to 1m 39 sec for the Scream:
