Podcast appearances and mentions of Dennis Muren

One day prior to leading multiple tours of the original location of Industrial Light & Magic, in Van Nuys, CA, for over a hundred people, renowned visual effects innovator and nine-time Academy Award winner Dennis Muren met up with us at the location. It was the first time Dennis had stepped foot inside the building in nearly fifty years, making it once-in-a-lifetime 'On Location" episode. We talked about the maddening pressure of creating the groundbreaking visual effects for "Star Wars" (1977) at this nondescript industrial property outside the Van Nuys airport, why he wanted to work for George Lucas and the filmmaker's clear cinematic vision, meeting Steven Spielberg for the first time at ILM, Van Nuys, his genuine love of movies and filming locations, and his feelings on the reemergence of VistaVision. Today, the location is home to Neiman & Company, an established architectural signage firm that's been in business since 1965 and purchased the building in the early 2000's. www.neimanandco.com

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 90 - DENNIS MUREN - VFX SUPERVISOR Visual effects supervisor Dennis Muren (JURASSIC PARK, TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY, STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI) joins us on this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast to discuss his lifelong craft. From playing with stop motion to working on the original STAR WARS, Dennis was interested in visual effects at an early age, and throughout the episode he reflects on the evolution of the field following the advent of computer generated imagery. We learn how Dennis prioritizes emotionality when building VFX into a shot and how he consults with a director and the crew  to come up with the best shots for the film. We also learn about the shift away from using models towards computer generated imagery and about the loss of certain aspects of reality that came with transition. We discuss the focusing power of deadlines, and Dennis later shares some advice for young filmmakers looking to breaking the field of VFX. Also included: how Dennis set up a prehistoric video call to coordinate the VFX of JURASSIC PARK across the globe with director Steven Spielberg in 1993. - This episode is sponsored by Godox

[School of Movies 2024] He's responsible for some of the most adored and industry-changing films of all time, and for some of the biggest cases of fan backlash ever recorded. It's maybe a little harder to remember now, after year upon year of Disney's Star Wars being declared the worst thing that has ever been put to screen, but a few years earlier, similar guys were saying similar things about the man that many fans wish had never sold to America's Mousy Spirit of Capitalism. What we have for you here is a focused collection of monologues drawn from commentaries across all six of the movies he was directly in charge of, bringing you from Star Wars in 1977 all the way to Revenge of the Sith in 2005. The cumulative effect of listening to George say one thing and then seem to contradict himself down the line, regarding what was planned and when gives way to the portrait of a frustrated storyteller hoping to be understood. These moments are interspersed with monologues from his production teams, including Empire Strikes Back director, his mentor Irvin Kirshner, Empire and Jedi writer Lawrence Kasdan, FX master craftsman Dennis Muren, animation director Rob Coleman, producer Rick McCallum, concept artist Ralph McQuarrie and the irreplaceable Carrie Fisher.

The great Clayton Sandell returns to take us inside his experience at the closing event for ILM's former home studio, including interviews and clips of legends Dennis Muren, Joe Johnston, and John Knoll! Clayton also tells us about his upcoming book Return of the Jedi: A Visual Archive, which comes out March 4, 2024. That and more Star Wars fun!

Steven Spielberg's “Jurassic Park” is more than just a film; it's a cinematic journey that forever altered the trajectory of filmmaking, visual effects, and our collective imaginations. Adapted from Michael Crichton's novel of the same name, the film is a potent concoction of thrilling storytelling, groundbreaking technology, and masterful direction. Even three decades on, it remains a touchstone of popular culture, with its iconic scenes and soundbites reverberating through the annals of cinematic history.At its heart, "Jurassic Park" is a tale of hubris, and humanity's perennial inclination to push the boundaries of nature without wholly understanding or respecting them. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) has realised the dream of millions by resurrecting dinosaurs and housing them in a theme park. While the marvel of the dinosaurs initially elicits wonder and astonishment, things quickly spiral out of control, leading to a thrilling battle for survival.Spielberg has an unrivalled knack for building tension and suspense. He meticulously crafts a crescendo of thrills, from the initial serene interactions with the Brachiosaurus to the terrifying encounter with the T-Rex – a sequence that has, quite rightly, earned its place as one of the most tense and brilliantly executed in film history. The pacing is near perfect, allowing audiences to alternate between awe-struck moments and pulse-pounding escapades.The visual effects, supervised by Dennis Muren and his team at Industrial Light & Magic, together with the animatronic dinosaurs crafted by Stan Winston, were groundbreaking in 1993. What makes it even more incredible is how well these effects have aged. The dinosaurs, synthesising CGI and practical effects, felt (and still feel) astonishingly real. The very first reveal of the Brachiosaurus, with its graceful neck reaching into the treetops, set against John Williams' emotive score, is nothing short of cinematic magic.While the dinosaurs are unquestionably the stars, the human characters are integral to the narrative's potency. Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) is the quintessential palaeontologist, initially disliking children but evolving through his ordeal on the island. Dr Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) is a formidable voice of reason, and Jeff Goldblum's Dr Ian Malcolm, with his dark, sardonic humour and chaos theory explanations, often steals the scene. Attenborough's portrayal of Hammond is also noteworthy, navigating the fine line between a starry-eyed dreamer and an entrepreneur blinded by ambition.Yet, for all its strengths, one could argue that "Jurassic Park" also carries a few inherent flaws. Some of the secondary characters lack depth and occasionally veer into caricature. The film also takes liberties with scientific accuracy. For instance, the Velociraptors are much larger than their real-life counterparts, and the T-Rex's vision being based on movement is more fiction than fact. However, such creative licenses can be forgiven in light of the broader cinematic experience.The film's philosophical underpinnings are just as compelling as its action sequences. It grapples with questions about the consequences of playing god, the ethical implications of cloning, and the uncontrollable nature of life. Dr. Malcolm's famous line, "Life finds a way," succinctly captures the film's essence, emphasizing the unpredictability and resilience of nature, no matter how much humans might try to dominate or commodify it.John Williams' score is, as always, impeccable. From the majestic theme that welcomes viewers to the park to the more ominous tones as chaos ensues, his music is as much a character in the film as the dinosaurs or humans. It elevates the movie from a mere visual spectacle to an emotional odyssey.In conclusion, "Jurassic Park" is a timeless masterpiece that marries thrilling action with profound philosophical musings. Spielberg's ability to evoke awe, terror, and wonder, often within the same scene, cements this film as a monumental achievement. While subsequent sequels have tried to recapture the magic, the original remains unparalleled, reminding viewers of a time when dinosaurs once again roamed the earth and our imaginations.

Welcome back to Rule of Two, today Marc and I have the honor of speaking with Dennis Muren. Dennis has worked on so many films including Star wars 4, 5, 6 and 1, 2, Terminator, Jurassic Park and has worked with many of the greats such as George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and so many others. He was a pioneer at ILM with George Lucas and helmed the first 3 Star Wars movies VFX. (Originally Streamed Apr 28, 2021) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Director Scott Leberecht began his filmmaking career as a visual effects art director at Lucasfilm's Industrial Light & Magic. His latest documentary film, Jurassic Punk, is about his fellow ILM effects artist Steve “Spaz” Williams. A talented artist, Steve pioneered computer animation VFX in movies, creating the alien effects for The Abyss and the morphing transitions for the “T-100” in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Steve's most ambitious and revolutionary work for the movie and VFX industry was his work on the completely computer animated dinosaurs for 1993's Jurassic Park. Scott met Steve during his internship at ILM. Jurassic Punk was originally meant to be about the whole ILM ensemble at that pivotal time between The Abyss and Jurassic Park. But as Scott gathered the stories, he realized that he needed a main character who had an interesting arc, and Steve definitely fit the profile. Steve's work on Jurassic Park had never been properly acknowledged, with credit for the visual effects going mainly to Phil Tippett and Dennis Muren. Steve himself was always a notoriously difficult, hard-drinking asshole who had trouble fitting into the corporate structure of ILM. Scott found it hard to shoot Steve's interviews for Jurassic Punk, since his friend was at such a low point in his life. But Steve understood that Scott was trying to tell the story of what life can be like for a creative worker who gives their all, only to be left with little credit or money. Scott sees Jurassic Punk as telling two cautionary tales: be careful about innovating within corporate structures, and ensure that the people who create the art are properly acknowledged. Life After Pi, a documentary short Scott made with Christina Lee Storm in 2014, is also a personal story about working in the VFX industry. Shortly before winning the Oscar for their special effects in Life of Pi, the visual effects studio Rhythm & Hues filed for bankruptcy. Scott had been working for the company for about six months when everyone was fired. The doc explores what's been happening to the visual effects industry, as work is outsourced and it becomes a race to the bottom for the cheapest price. There was a very short window of time after Rhythm & Hues' collapse where effects workers could speak their mind, even staging a demonstration outside the Academy Awards that year. Today, effects workers continue to voice their need to form a union, as the quality of effects work declines while studios demand cheaper VFX done at an even faster pace. You can watch Jurassic Punk streaming on Amazon and Kanopy. Life After Pi is on YouTube.

There are some movies that are classics, there are some movies that are cult classics, and there are some movies that are little-known secret touchstones of the genre that inspired all your favorite filmmakers without ever being very well known themselves. And 'Equinox', the first-time effort of future Academy Award winner Dennis Muren, is definitely one of those secret touchstones. So let's jump back to 1970 (and even earlier), and examine a Criterion Collection film that many people have never even heard of, the weird little movie known as 'Equinox'!

 The 1902 film "A Trip to the Moon," is considered one of the earliest films to incorporate visual effects. Using double exposure stop motion animation, director George Méliès created the iconic image of a rocket skip flying directly into the Moon's eye. This ingenious bit of visual trickery helped pave the way for the groundbreaking and award winning effects we seen in many of our favorite movies.Today, CGI, motion capture technology and infrared cameras are pushing the boundaries of what's possible on the big screen.

I managed to get in contact with ILM VFX legend Dennis Muren. All thanks to a friend who put in a good word for me. Thanks Mark. Dennis and I chatted a couple of weeks ago for about an hour and forty minutes. Rather than ask him the same old tired questions, I really wanted to talk to him about his approach and about some of the VFX sequences I've enjoyed the most and how he went about producing them. But of course I had to begin with how it all started for him. I hope you enjoy it.

Vuonna 1975 toukokuun 26. päivä perustettiin Industrial Light&Magic elokuvatuotantoyritys Van Nuysissa Kaliforniassa. George Lucas tarvitsi ennennäkemättömiä erikoisefektejä uuteen skifielokuvaansa ja alkuperäiseen tiimi: Ken Ralston, Richard Edlund, Dennis Muren, Robert Balalack, Joe Johnston, Phil Tippett, Steve Gawley, Lorne Peterson ja Paul Huston jättivät jälkensä elokuvahistoriaan, kun ILM:n työn tuloksesta koko elokuvateollisuus mullistui.

We attended a couple of incredible roundtable interviews for LIGHT & MAGIC, Lawrence Kasdan's 6-part documentary series about Industrial Light & Magic. We couldn't recommend the series more. We spoke to Lawrence Kasdan (!!!!), the director of LIGHT & MAGIC, writer of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, RETURN OF THE JEDI, THE FORCE AWAKENS, SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, and so much more. Then, we talked to special effects masters Phil Tippett and Dennis Muren about the changing industry and their friendship. Finally, we spoke with Janet Lewin, the Senior Vice President and General Manager of ILM today about the Volume, the sequel trilogy and Rogue One, and more.    THANK YOU to Lucasfilm and Disney+ for this incredible opportunity and thanks to our fellow outlets for asking incredible questions, including Fangirls Going Rogue, Coffee with Kenobi, Jedi News, Skywalking Through Neverland, LaughingPlace, Ecron Fantastique, Frogi, CHIPPO, MoviePlayer, and more.    https://www.patreon.com/skytalkers http://skytalkers.com  http://www.twitter.com/skytalkerspod https://www.tiktok.com/@skytalkers  http://facebook.com/skytalkerspod  https://www.instagram.com/skytalkerspodcast  http://www.twitter.com/crerrity  http://www.twitter.com/caitlinplesher  hello@skytalkers.com

In 1993 filmmaker Steven Spielberg made dinosaurs walk and the style of blockbuster that he had helped create completely extinct. JURASSIC PARK (1993) is a film that changed it all, including the lives of your hosts, Alex, Matt, and Rocco, especially when it came to the toys and their DINO DAMAGE! We detail how Michael Crichton, David Koepp, Dennis Muren, George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, John Williams, and Stevie Spielberg made it all happen, why we fell in love with Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and why this might be the worst franchise in history after JURASSIC PARK: DOMAIN-- Err,I mean, JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION. It's a new mini-marathon, folks! This summer, we're gettin' in the ring with Steven for the SPIELBERG SUMMER SLAM! We're hitting up his incredible run of blockbusters from the genre-defining JAWS (1975) up through his hand-wave screen technology-introducing MINORITY REPORT (2002)!The NeverEnding Movie Marathon is a weekly podcastic celebration of cinema. Dive deep into fan-favorite films (#NoStinkers!), thematically curated to enhance your movie viewing by hosts Matt Detisch, Alex Logan, and Michael Rocco.Find us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or at neverendingmoviemarathon.com

Hello, kaiju lovers! MIFV's season three theme, Ameri-kaiju, wouldn't be complete without some Ray Harryhausen, so Nate invited both of his “co-hosts in kamen” (ba-dum-tsh!) to discuss 20 Million Miles to Earth. (Yes, Jimmy reminds Nate that he got his chronology wrong, because this film was released in 1957 and The Blob was 1958. Oops!). Harryhausen super-fans Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton, co-hosts of the Kaiju Weekly podcast, join Nate in a chat that veers perilously close to derailing at multiple points. Jet lag will do that to you, especially when flying to the Island in the Rad Bug. Regardless, 20 Million Miles was Harryhausen's first truly iconic film, paving the way for his fantasy epics that followed. The intrepid Jimmy From NASA keeps trying to tell his story about seeing a herd of Ymir on their native Venus, but nobody cares. The Toku Topic is the Soviet side of the Space Race since this film begins with a rocket ship crash and was released several months before the launch of Sputnik I. Be prepared for many (bad) Russian accents! To compete with this broadcast, Cameron Winter did a livestream where he sent one of his Cyber-Flies to track down the Ymir so he could be put on display for the film's anniversary and Harryhausen's birthday in June. Winter rambles about seemingly random things while doing so. Special thanks to J.P. Gant for helping to edit this episode! Follow him on Twitter: @Homebrewed_SD (https://tinyurl.com/2jpc36r5).

A complete May the Fourth wrap upThe emperor hints at a returnAnd Celebration brings some light and magicThe Kenobi TrailerHasbro FiguresGive us 5 minutes and we'll give you the galaxy.www.ATGcast.comPatreon.com/ATGcast@ATGcastAnother week, another flood of news rumors, clickbait and conversation. This is Pete Fletzer and welcome to disturbances in the Force. All the links to the original sources can be found in the notes and I urge you to check them out. 1.This week was Star Wars Day – May the Fourth – and one of the biggest events from Lucasfilm was the release of the second trailer for the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. The trailer was 90 seconds and featured a tense moment between Obi-Wan and Uncle Owen Lars, more action scenes between the titular character and various badguys while the voiceover hinted at bounty hunters being employed along with the inquisitors to find the outlaw Jedi. The teaser gave us our first look at Kumail Nanjiani looking worried and wearing what could be Jedi robes. As the promo came to an end, fans witness a robotic arm being attached to what is presumed to be Darth Vader followed by his chest box being attached, lighting up and then culminating in hearing the Dark Lord of the Sith's signature breathing sound. The six-part limited series drops on Disney plus with two episodes on Friday, May 27th.2.In addition to the Kenobi trailer, a 60 minute behind the scenes documentary lauched on Disney-Plus called Disney Gallery – The Book of Boba Fett. The show gives in-depth background and behind the scenes footage of the series including interviews with all the actors, directors and producers. Included in the documentary is more insight into how they were able to create a digital double of Luke Skywalker using a stand-in and the original actor, Mark Hamill, himself. Disney Gallery – Book of Boba Fett is available now on Disney Plus.3.Technology giant, Apple, dropped a 15 minute behind the scenes documentary themselves on their youtube channel called Behind the Mac: Skywalker Sound. The black and white stylized mini-movie gives fans a look at the creation and application of sound effects to Star Wars films (with peeks at other Disney properties) created at the groundbreaking sound studio. Of note is the particular focus on sounds from the Prequel series of films. This is not surprising however, as the new Kenobi series will most certainly have direct ties to this era. You can find this documentary short on YouTube now or in the links below.4.May the Fourth was also a day for more toy reveals from Star Wars licensee Hasbro. From the 3.75” line of action figures, look for Ahsoka Clone Troopers, Padawan Anakin, Mandalorian Super Commando, Heavy Assault Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper Commander, a Phase I clone trooper 4 pack and a Retro collection multipack featuring characters from A New Hope. From the Black Series 6-inch line, Hasbro announced an Endor Leia, Figrin D'An from the Cantina band, and New Republic Security Droid as seen in the Mandalorian. From lifesized movie props, they are making Obi-Wan Kenobi's light saber available for the first time as an FX Elite offering and an updated version of Darth Vader's helmet with electronic sounds and film correct red lenses. All these products are available now for pre-order at various outlets.5.At the Imperial Commissary Collectors Convention last week, Ian McDiarmid, the actor who played Emperor Palpatine SLASH Darth Sidious hinted that he may have some role in some of the upcoming Disney Plus Star Wars properties. On a panel he was on he said QUOTE “There's a certain show coming soon set right around the time I may have been considered to be very active. Whether or not you will see my physical body, I cannot comment on. But you will certainly feel my presence.” There was no indication which specific upcoming series he may be a part of, but the. Kenobi series will feature Darth Vader and the Andor series takes place in the early days of the fledgling Rebellion.6.As Star Wars Celebration looms less than three weeks away, information about events happening at the event in Anaheim continues to come out. On May the Fourth a opanel called Light & Magic was announced for the Friday of the four-day weekend event. The Star Wars Celebration twitter account announced QUOTE “Be among the first in the world to get a sneak peek at the recently announced Disney plus documentary series “Light and Magic.” The panel will feature Lawrence Kasdan, Ron Howard, Dennis Muren, Phil Tippett, Joe Johnson and Rose Duigan. There is no official word on whether it will drop all at once or weekly. The Light and Magic docu-series will be six-episodes long and will begin streaming on July 27 on Disney Plus.(c) 2022 Pete in the Seat Studios

El tiempo, amigas y amigos, es relativo como dijo gente muchísimo más sabia que nosotros (y con menos morro, eso también). Y decimos esto para disculparnos por el pequeño e inapreciable (infinitesimal, de hecho) lapso entre nuestra Cara A y esta Cara B que por fin tenéis en vuestro reproductor favorito. 8 meses puede parecer mucho, sí, pero es que George tardó la friolera de 36 en estrenar el Episodio V. ¿Y eso qué? ¿Él sí y nosotros no? QUÍNTUPLE RASERO. Ya, puede que mucha gente piense que es tamaña osadía comparar esa obra magna con lo que tenéis en vuestras orejas ahora mismo, pero nosotros no, por supuesto. Sabemos que nuestro producto está a centurias de distancia en cuanto a calidad, pero de caradura andamos bien y si no os habéis despistado todavía prometemos un número final a lo Norma Duval en los noventa. ¡Ganamos mucho como coristas! En este episodio seguimos con nuestra sana intención de contar cómo se llevó a cabo La Guerra de las Galaxias: Episodio IV - Una nueva esperanza desde el punto de vista de esos ignotos elementos que en 1977 no eran más que gente que iba por la calle con un maletín de cintas con sonidos grabados o vivía en un edificio donde lo mismo se rodaban planos de efectos visuales que se aprovechaba una rampa de avión a modo de tobogán, pero que con el tiempo serían considerados como los más grandes en sus respectivas profesiones. En este caso, nos centramos en Ben Burtt, un señor que escuchaba (mirando a la pared, de verdad) las películas de pequeño y que lo mismo le metía el micro a una morsa que se pasaba las vacaciones buscando una torre de radio que al ser golpeada con algo metálico satisficiera su peculiar búsqueda de sonidos. Por el camino nos dejo casi nada: el sonido del sable láser, la respiración de Vader, el hutés, el lenguaje de R2, Chewie riéndose… Y, también, en Industrial Light & Magic, una empresa fundada por Lucas con medio millón de dólares para hacer los efectos que nadie más podía hacer y que contó con una muestra de premios Óscar por centímetro cuadrado difícilmente igualable: John Dysktra, Dennis Muren, Richard Edlund, Robert Blalack, Joe Johnston, Phil Tippet… 17 entre estos seis personajes si no nos fallan las cuentas. Y ya sabéis, este podcast trata de glosar las andanzas de estos profesionales del cine cuyas carreras y premios hablan por sí solos, pero que permanecen en el anonimato. Para ello, además seguir homenajeando a nuestro secundario del cine español favorito (y que hubiera sido un Darth Vader sensacional, siempre lo afirmaremos), contamos con homólogos de nuestro cine para explicarnos qué es un supervisor de efectos visuales y digitales y si conviene darle de comer después de las 12 de la noche . Para esta cara B tenemos el placer de conversar con David Heras, supervisor de efectos visuales y digitales en La trinchera Infinita, Open Windows, El Ministerio del tiempo, Handía (por la que ganó un Goya), Antidisturbios o Historias para no dormir. Todo ello acompañados de 40 canciones editadas en 1977 (el año de estreno de esta película); el patrocinio secreto de Bricomonía; el puto Tony Wilson y la certeza de que los cocos no emigran. Con todos ustedes, Lo Tengo Todo Documentado, el único podcast que no pronuncia bien un apellido ni por casualidad.

It's a Halloween miracle!  The kind where one of your favorite podcasts decides to release an episode about a spooky movie a day early so it comes out on the day in question.  Wow.  Good job, us.  We're watching the monster movie cult classic Equinox, which incorporates a sort of talent-reel of up-and-coming special effects maestro Dennis Muren into a mashed together series of narrative scenes directed by Jack Woods that pad it out to a feature length.  More importantly though, we talk a lot about WKRP in Cincinnati. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Lars von Trier's Antichrist (2009).

A movie AND the book that it's based on?  What is this, an episode of Random Acts of Cinema or an episode of Chapter One: Take Two, amiright?  Well, it's actually both.  This week we've teamed up with Briana and Maddy to do what they do with Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's classic literary science fiction masterpiece Roadside Picnic and Andrei Tartovsky's classic cinematic science fiction masterpiece Stalker. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Jack Woods and Dennis Muren's Equinox (1970).

This is perhaps one of the toughest movie reviews we have ever done: Jurassic Park, a legendary film that has been dissected frame by frame for nearly 30 years, since it came out in 1993. No pressure in reviewing arguably Steven Spielberg's best creature feature, right? No one could ever fathom a scenario wherein they could yell at the hosts through their stereo for leaving out trivia, but also for including too much trivia, right? How do your hosts think this film compares to Jaws? Were there similar technical complications? The screenplay was adapted by David Koepp (Spider-Man, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Mummy) from Michael Crichton's novel. We address the similarities with Crichton's other theme park fiasco film, Westworld, and the rebooting of that franchise. We talk the performances of all the actors. Sam Neil (Event Horizon, In the Mouth of Madness, hunt for the Wilderpeople) stars as Dr. Alan Grant, a paleontologist and unwilling nanny. Jeff Goldblum (The Fly, Independence Day, Thor: Ragnarok) is the chaotic Ian Malcolm. Laura Dern (Wild, Marriage Story, Blue Velvet) is the amazingly rare female action star, counter to Neil's Grant. Richard Attenborough (Gandhi) stepped out of acting retirement to play Hammond. B.D. Wong (Mr. Robot, Mulan), who has finally gotten some attention in the sequels, still is memorable in his expository scene about how the dino-sausage is made. Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, and basically every Marvel film), embodies every sane person who has ever worked alongside a nitwit and for a capitalist. Finally, Wayne Knight (Seinfeld) is the most loathsome character on film, and we love him for it. We delve into all of the multifaceted special effects and their creators: Stan Winston, Phil Tippett, Dennis Muren, and Michael Lantieri. We also talk about the paleontological experts on set, Robert T. Bakker and Jack Horner, one of whom served as inspiration from Dr. Grant (Neil). Through them we talk about the accuracies, inaccuracies, and dinosaurs onscreen: velociraptor (deinonychus), dilophosaurus, brachiosaurus, gallimimus, parasaurolophus, triceratops, and finally Tyrannosaurus Rex. Luckily, we balance out the review with a discussion with our dear paleontology pals, Dinosaurs Will Always Be Awesome.

The crew hunker down in their isolated chambers but still manage to watch 1970's "Equinox", a low - budget movie that brought us special effects wizards Dennis Muren, Dave Allen and Jim Danforth. It also brought us Frank Bonner, the man who played Herb on "WKRP in Cincinnati." What's there not to love????Mary and Scott foolishly allow Dave to create another cocktail - guess what? This one ALSO has a hint of anise flavor in it. Surprised?The Equinox cocktail3 ounces Calvados (French apple brandy)1 1/2 ounces fresh lemon juice, from about 2 lemons1 1/2 ounces spiced syrup - see below.2 dashes Angostura bittersGarnish: 2 lemon twistsFor the cocktail: fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add Calvados, lemon juice, spiced syrup, and bitters into shaker and shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain into two cocktail glasses, dividing evenly. Garnish each glass with a lemon twist.For the spiced syrup: Measure the water and sugar into a pot and stir together. Add cloves, star anise, and cinnamon sticks. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely. Reduce heat and let simmer 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool. Pour into a sealable container and refrigerate for 24 hours. Finely strain and use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.Note - Dave used ready made mulling spices instead of cloves, star anise and cinnamon sticks, as the ingredients were all there.This recipe was taken from the Serious Eats website - "Kevin Martin's Equinox has become a favorite at Boston's Eastern Standard—it offers an autumnal twist on the classic sour. With apple-based Calvados, a savory spiced syrup, and that lemony kick, it's sure to be a home standard, too."

Well, this is wild: today's conversation is with an absolute effects legend ... 9-time Academy Award winner, Dennis Muren. This is honestly a dream come true and our conversation did not disappoint: from the landmark achievements of original trilogy's space battles, the Temple of Doom's mine car chase, Willow's morphing, Terminator 2's liquid metal and more … we dive into so much of Mr. Muren’s incredible career. From Star Tours to the prequels to the future of CG and movies, I feel very fortunate to have been able to talk to him. I hope you all enjoy hearing his stories and experiences (and I hope you were able to tell that I was smiling so hard the entire time).

TyRuben Ellingson is an exceptional Visual Effects Art Director who has worked on a ton of projects, including Star Wars: A New Hope (Special Edition). Whether breaking his arm on Jurassic Park or drawing floating Jabbas, we dive into his story and career … and what George Lucas really said in that first Special Edition meeting. (He also goes on the record about his involvement, or lack thereof, on Greedo shooting first.) From working with Guillermo del Toro and James Cameron to Tron 3 and Neil Blomkamp’s Alien 5, he tells such inspiring stories about his career and his journey. His website with more of his designs and projects is definitely worth a vist: alieninsect.com Our Talking Bay 94 store has a VERY limited restock of ALL of our “Credits” line of shirts, so get on it because sizes are selling out FAST: https://talkingbay94.bigcartel.com/ Next week is my conversation with someone talked about quite a few times in this episode and a bunch of our previous episodes: nine time Academy Award-winner Dennis Muren. Yeah, I can’t believe it either.

Episode 39 of The Film '89 Podcast is a very special one as Steve and Skye interview two-time Oscar winning visual effects supervisor, Phil Tippett. Phil is a true legend in the field of visual effects, having specialised in creature design and character animation as well as being a director and producer whose contribution to film will be held in the same regard as the likes of Willis O'Brien, Dick Smith, Rick Baker, Douglas Trumbull, Jim Henson, Dennis Muren, Stan Winston, Rob Bottin, Stuart Freeborn and of course, the great Ray Harryhausen. He was an integral part of George Lucas' original Star Wars Trilogy having worked on the cantina creatures and holographic chess sequence on the Millennium Falcon in 1977's Star Wars, he animated the Tauntauns and Imperial Walkers from the incredible battle of Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back, he populated Jabba's palace with all manner of weird and wonderful creatures in Return of the Jedi, he's worked on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, he breathed life into the iconic ED-209 from RoboCop, he then brought to life the titular monster from RoboCop 2, and was co-producer on and responsible for the incredible blending of practical, model and computer generated SFX on Starship Troopers and that's to name but a few in a career that's seen him win numerous accolades and awards including two Academy Awards for his incredible work on Return of the Jedi and Jurassic Park. Phil talks about his amazing career in film as well as the influence of the great Ray Harryhausen. On top of this, Steve and Skye go on to discuss their favourite visual effects sequences in film with the usual contributions from our listeners.

So, I did something dumb. When The Academy announced a panel featuring Marcia Lucas (!!!!), Ben Burtt (!!!!), John Dykstra, Dennis Muren, John Knoll, Harrison Ellenshaw (TB94 Episode 18), Richard Edlund (TB94 Episode 19) and many more ... I bought a ticket. And then it sold out. The event was in Los Angeles on a Thursday and I, well, live in Dallas. So I booked a flight, flew out to California and ended up having the time of my life. Here's a fun, quick listen about my trip, both my experience and some snippets from the panel. It is probably the closest I'll ever actually get to getting Marcia Lucas on this show. And definitely check out The Academy and all of the great events they are doing: https://www.oscars.org Our Talking Bay 94 web store is officially live with our first round of merch.

Today we continue our celebration and exploration of the original trilogy of Star Wars movies with a look at Episode VI. Return of the Jedi. In this final movie from the original three, the good guys win in the end after overcoming incredible odds. Many fans and critics panned it for including the incredibly cute and furry Ewoks on the moon named Endor as a part of the storyline. Many thought one very tall Wookie was enough cuteness for the series. Yet the Ewoks did provide the setup to one of the movies best lines. The Ewoks thought one of Luke’s robots, C-3PO, was a god. Solo asked him to demonstrate some ‘god-like’ powers to which C- 3PO replied, “It is against my programming to impersonate a deity.” This movie’s big reveal was that Luke and Princess Leia were twins and that she was now free to unabashedly pursue bad boy Han Solo. While Episode VI was the lowest grossing film of the original three, coming in at only $572MM worldwide, it was still a great ride and visually stunning. George Lucas’ in-house organ, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), certainly earned their title for their special effects in the movie. The Sarlacc battle sequence was great, the speeder bike chase on the Endor moon was way cool and the space battle between Rebel and Imperial pilots was a great ride. At the Academy Awards ceremony for movies of that year, Richard Edlund, Dennis Muren, Ken Ralston, and Phil Tippett, all from ILM, received the Special Achievement Award for Visual Effects Oscar award. I thought about this entry in the Star Wars oeuvre in the context of compliance training. One of the key changes from the Department of Justice articled in the 2017 Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs was the change in training. The DOJ wants both targeted and effective training. This means you must be able to demonstrate how your training has been received and utilized by your employee base. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

One of the key changes from the Department of Justice articled in the 2017 Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs was the change in training. The DOJ wants both targeted and effective training. This means you must be able to demonstrate how your training has been received and utilized by your employee base. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A l’occasion d’une projection au Club de l’Etoile, retour sur un grand classique des années 80, devenu culte vingt ans après sa sortie. Les raisons de l’échec de Joe Dante avec “L’Aventure Intérieure” en 1987 restent encore assez mystérieuses. Malgré d’excellents résultats lors des projections test, le film n’est alors pas parvenu à trouver son public. C’est seulement à la fin des années 90 qu’on assistera au retour en grâce de cette comédie produite par Steven Spielberg. Dans ce voyage au coeur du corps humain, l’enthousiasme des comédiens (Denis Quaid, Meg Ryan, Martin Short...) transpire sur la copie finale. L’équipe de NoCiné revient sur les anecdotes de tournage et de conception de ce film familial bourré d’action, drôle et rythmé.“L’Aventure Intérieure” est le premier film d’une série de projections programmées par le Club de l’Etoile.

We're going in, we're going in at full throttle and RADIO 1138 wants you along for the ride. We have a fascinating conversation with creature maker Tom Spina, talk visual effects with the legendary Dennis Muren and walk through issue 160 of the Star Wars Insider with editor Jonathan Wilkins. Throw in a TV documentary crew, Force Friday discussions, preparation for Rancho Obi-Wan's Galaween AND New York Comic Con plus the latest news and you have the secret recipe for episode 32 of RADIO 1138

THE FORCE AWAKENS Instagram teaser. ROGUE ONE. Colin Trevorrow. D23. Disney parks. This months bumper episode looks at all that and more as well as looking ahead to Force Friday, New York Comic Con and Rancho Obi-Wan's Galaween. We're joined by Shane Turgeon, hear the first part of Mark's vintage chat with Dennis Muren, talk to Mark Mulcaster of the Rebel Legion and rock out to Darth Elvis on episode 31 of RADIO 1138.

Not strictly Doctor Who this week, but a cool interview all the same. The local chapter of SIGGRAPH (a group of computer graphics geniuses) brought Industrial Light and Magic special effects legend Dennis Muren to Vancouver, and Warren was able to interview him. Apologies for the dodgy audio during Warren's questions....the details are too boring to go into, but at any rate Muren's thoughts on visual effects, art and the motion picture industry are the good stuff.
