Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | The inside story of George Lucas, his intensely private company, and their work to revolutionize filmmaking. In the process, they made computer history. Discover the birth of Pixar, digital video editing, videogame avatars, THX sound, and a host of other icons of the media age. Lucas played a central role in the universe of entertainment technologies we see every day. This book ventures in territory never explored, as Rubin--a former member of the Lucasfilm Computer Division--reconstructs the events in Hollywood, in Silicon Valley, and at Lucas' private realm in Marin County, California, to track the genesis of modern media. With unprecedented access to images and key participants from Lucasfilm, Pixar and Zoetrope--from George Lucas and the executives who ran his company, to the small team of scientists who made the technological leaps--Rubin weaves a tale of friendships, a love of movies, and the incessant forward movement of technology.--Adapted from www.droidmaker.com |
