George Lucas founded Industrial Light & Magic in 1975 to develop visual effects for Star Wars using motion control photography pioneered by Douglas Trumbull. ILM revolutionized filmmaking with its development of blue screen techniques, model making, and motion control under the direction of John Dykstra, creating visuals that had never been seen before and establishing ILM as the leading visual effects company in Hollywood.
