75 - Peter Kuran - VFX Artist and Director

from The Filmumentaries Podcast · host Jamie Benning

For this episode, number 75, I spoke with filmmaker and optical VFX expert Peter Kuran. Peter was one of the few people employed by George Lucas on Star Wars and became a core crew member at Industrial Light and Magic. He went on to have a long career in VFX and then became a director in his own right.I should point out that we had internet problems so some of the recording is garbled or lost. I’ve edited around it in places and left it in in other places so you know that there was a piece missing. Apologies. We never found out if it was my connection or Peter’s. I hope you enjoy the conversation.LinksReturn of the Jedi Timeline Book - Register your interest!Filmumentaries Merch!Support the Podcast on PatreonThe Man Who Shot Luke SkywalkerThis podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.
