Space Dock Jury – Remembering Ron Thornton

This week we mark the passing of a visual effects legend Mr Ron Thornton, who was responsible for the pioneering CG visual effects work on Babylon 5, Star Trek Voyager, Deep Space 9, Captain Scarlet and many more. We are joined by Lee Stringer, who worked with Ron at his studio Foundation Imaging, to remember the Ron and his legacy on the visual effects landscape and his impact on so many nascent visual effects artists working within the industry today because of Rons influence. Ron passed away due to a liver disease and a GoFundme page was set up to pay for his medical expenses. The account remains open to support his widow Lada who continues to pay the medical costs after Ron passed away.
