“From Star Wars to Marvel to the Oscars: Blockbuster Aesthetics and Special/Visual Effects” examines the unspoken standards of realism in blockbuster films. It challenges the traditional view of realism as mere perceptual mimicry, revealing it as a historical construct shaped by Industrial Light and Magic (ILM). This talk examines the central role of ILM in constructing and propagating our contemporary notion of photorealism across not just cinema but moving image capture realms more broadly.
