12 - Marty Brenneis - Aka Marty the Droid - ILM Veteran

In this episode of the Filmumentaries podcast, I speak with Marty Brennis, a veteran of Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) who worked on numerous iconic films. The conversation covers Brennis's journey from working with Francis Ford Coppola to George Lucas, his contributions to motion control systems, and the evolution of technology in filmmaking. Brennis shares insights on the importance of communication, the transition from analog to digital, and the unsung heroes behind the scenes in the film industry. He reflects on his long career, the challenges faced, and the pride in being part of groundbreaking projects.A big thanks to Johnnyb aka @agraphafx on twitter for linking me up with Marty!All the links This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.
