Ed Kramer - Movie Magic Secrets from the Artists who Invented CGI

Room 505 - Reel Heroes Film Series

Friday June 30, 2017 - 6:00 pm to 6:50 pm


Ed will share inspirational stories about his early years using ancient Computer Graphics technologies, and his career arc through those cutting-edge technologies during the 1980’s, 1990’s and 2000's. That career culminated with twelve years at, as Ed describes it, “The coolest possible job on the planet Earth!” This was his period working for George Lucas on STAR WARS Episodes I, II, and III, with the ultimate career moment coming when he was asked to be a Sequence Supervisor on Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Ed will speak about creating CGI characters and effects for all three Prequels, and will answer audience questions about working at ILM on those and many other movies. He will also bring in a number of pieces from his personal collection of STAR WARS memorabilia to present attendees with a rare opportunity to see one-of-a-kind items from Ed’s private collection of movie magic!
