After
more than two decades of super-secret development by filmmaking legend
Stanley Kubrick, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence - the story of
a robot-child's quest for a means to become human - would finally see
the light of day in the hands of Steven
Spielberg, who crafted both the script and the film from notes and
artwork left behind by Kubrick upon his death. Spielberg summoned Industrial
Light & Magic visual effects supervisors Dennis
Muren and Scott
Farrar to convey onto film new and existing conceptual art of a
future world ravaged by the effects of global warming and overpopulated
by both humans and their mechanical creations. Spielberg also engaged
Stan
Winston Studio to design and build an extensive cast of robot characters.

Visionary director Tim Burton put his own
singular spin of Planet of the Apes,, a remake of the 1968 classic, depicting evolution turned on its ear in a
world where humans are subjugated by a superior race of apes. The production would boast a stellar team of effects
contributors. Cementing his reputation as the undisputed master of simian simulation was makeup maestro Rick Baker,
whose Cinovation Studio team would create fourteen principal ape characters, all distinct and different, plus hundreds
of secondary and background players. Spearheading the postproduction visual effects, a blend of models, paintings and
digital work, were visual effects supervisors Bill George and George Murphy of Industrial Light & Magic.
