It’s the newest podcast in our ILM series!
Today it’s our latest episode from the special ILM podcast series, as part of the release of my book, Industrial Light & Magic: 50 Years of Innovation.
Today we chat with Cary Phillips, who is Director, R&D Engineering Architect at ILM. Cary has been recognized with three Academy Scientific and Technical Awards. These were for the Caricature Animation System in 1998, the ILM Creature Dynamics System in 2001 and the ILM Shape Sculpting System in 2015.
Caricature, or Cari, as it was known, was famously used to help animate the face of Draco on Dragonheart. That’s where I start the conversation with Cary Philips, asking him how Cari came to be.
