Book Presentation:
A spectacular celebration of the first 50 years of Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), the award-winning visual effects house behind the Star Wars saga, Indiana Jones, E.T., Terminator 2, and Jurassic Park

Industrial Light & Magic: 50 Years of Innovation is the official decade-by-decade visual retrospective of the legendary visual effects house.

Founded by Star Wars creator George Lucas in 1975, ILM has won 16 Academy Awards in Best Visual Effects and pushed the boundaries of what can be visually realized in storytelling, from the big screen to emerging technologies such as streaming television, 3D immersive adventures, and more.

Breaking down ILM’s evolution in visual effects decade-by-decade, 50 Years of Innovation features stunning visuals and analysis of the creative and technical processes from concept to execution, and highlights 50 of their key projects that have helped shape the visual effects industry.

Concluding with a look at both the future of ILM and the visual effects industry at large, the key creative forces at ILM speculate about what the next 50 years may have in store for the innovators that transformed entertainment forever.
