For director Jerry
Zucker, Ghost was a vast departure from the broader-than-broad
comedies that had made him a bankable commodity in Hollywood.
Selecting a deeply romantic supernatural thriller for his first solo outing,
Zucker surrounded himself with a cadre of top-notch visual effects artisans
and created a stupendous boxoffice hit. Contributing
ghostly pass-throughs and otherworldly spirits - even a representation
of heaven - were effects teams from Industrial
Light & Magic, Available

For nearly six decades,
Dick Tracy has been a household name. But it was not until
producer-director Warren Beatty tackled a big-budget ode to his childhood
hero that the saga of Dick Tracy - complete with its bizarre villains
and ultra-stylized settings - was fully realized on film. Aided by
makeup artists John Caglione, Jr. and Doug Drexler and by miniatures and
matte paintings from the Buena
Vista Visual Effects Group, Beatty imbued his production with a comic
strip look all its own. Article by Glenn Campbell |
Captivated by childhood
recollections of A Guy Named Joe, producer-director Steven Spielberg
launched into Always - his own remake in which the characters were
contemporized from World War II bomber pilots to modern-day aerial
firefighters. Physical effects supervisor Mike Wood staged
massive conflagrations on location and on studio soundstages, while
Industrial Light
& Magic used large-scale miniatures shot in-camera to produce the
really expansive scenes requiring aircraft to barnstorm over blazing forest
fires. Article by Kevin H. Martin |
