A further deep dive celebrating the achievements in ‘Episode I’.
In this episode of VFX Notes, Ian and Hugo continue to dive into Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, celebrating its 25th anniversary. This is part two of our discussion on the film.
In the first episode, we reviewed the film and discussed the fan reaction to Jar Jar Binks, the digital revolution, and many other groundbreaking innovations. In part two, we go deep into individual sequences from the film, including the pod race, the CGI characters, the miniatures, and much more.








Sebulba’s pod skidding to a stop is a 1/4 scale miniature.
Thanks John, it has always been one of my fave moments.
