Industrial Light & Magic has a long history of enabling filmmakers to achieve their creative vision. Simply put, our passion is for film and the craft of filmmaking and to those ends, creative problem solving. Directors often inspire us to develop new tools and technology that in turn allow them to explore, communicate, and execute ideas in a collaborative and flexible manner. Leveraging our decades-long experience in production and effects, we are bringing the best of this technology together to create a single integrated virtual production platform we call, StageCraft – An end-to-end virtual production solution.

StageCraft represents a new paradigm of filmmaking that combines traditional filmmaking tools with cutting-edge technology to allow filmmakers to achieve their vision with speed and flexibility previously unimaginable.

StageCraft offers filmmakers the ability to:

DESIGN: DESIGN SHOTS IN AN IMMERSIVE VR ENVIRONMENT. IDENTIFY WHICH SET PIECES ARE BEST BUILT PRACTICALLY, AND QUICKLY ASSEMBLE STORYBOARDS TO EXPLORE CREATIVE OPTIONS. THE STAGECRAFT DESIGN TOOLS SUPPORT EASY IMPORT OF SCANNED LOCATIONS, FULLY DIGITAL SET PIECES, AND ASSETS TO INCLUDE IN THE DESIGN.

I loved mandalorian but I am afraid I streamed all and they still had the “television” tinge to them. But.. the visuals were amazing and of course little Yoda.. here’s amazing thing about the visuals – ‘The Mandalorian’ Set Photos Reveal Seamless “Stagecraft” Technology at Work

The making of Starship – Live! 24/7 SpaceX Boca Chica Complex

and Starships of the mind too.
.

…Love spaceships and still spend a lot of time thinking of ships, 3d modeling them, very partial about the Mars rovers. Still think Rama would be a great movie and one of the adventures that kept me on the edge of my seat every time I re-read the books. The creative space starships occupy is a strange one, lots of creative people have taken on spaceships themes, like Asimov, George, Kubrick, Clarke, on the other hand also out there real scientists who build nasa rovers.
.

It seems it is bizarre I spent most of my life being terrified of flying. Actually there was a space of about three years when i could not get on a plane and a wing tip would throw me into a tailspin but we don’t wanna talk about this do we.

The Heart of Gold is still my favorite.
.
There was a strange tree in a hard science fiction novel where the tree had to be stoked with fires to fly through a universe very dense and with strange gravity. The novel was called Raft. Once i made a pen and ink drawing about it i think.
.
.

Rama has been dominating my imagination for the longest time. Also the Raman Node from the later Rama books, the later books were filled with incredible ships of various sizes and purpose taking deep voyages and carrying many species to unknown destinations. It blows my mind until this day when i need to be shopping, probably, by what I think advertisers think of me, for handbags.
.
.

The moment where Rama meets the Node and many exciting things happen and we meet Raman intelligence. It too blows my mind.

“..The Rama spacecraft rendezvous with another Node, an enormous tetrahedron near the star Tau Ceti, designed to research any intelligent life capable of spaceflight. ..”

With Star Destroyers coming close second for intimidation factor and making us prickly with anticipation when entering the big screen and gliding over our heads.

Super Star Destroyer Executor complete scene. It is as badass as they come.

Rama from Rendezvous with Rama would have been a good addition ( 50-kilometre /31 mile cylindrical alien starship ). Also one of my favorite ships ever. Wish Ridley would have undertaken Rendezvous with Rama and the Rama franchise.
