50 - Lorne Peterson - Part Two - ILM Chief Model Maker

In this episode of the Filmumentaries podcast, I celebrate the 50th episode milestone with the second part of a conversation with Lorne Peterson, a former model maker at ILM, discussing the evolution of model making and special effects in film, the impact of CGI, and the challenges faced during the transition to digital effects. The conversation highlights key moments in film history, the collaborative nature of filmmaking, and the creative processes behind iconic movie scenes. Lorne shares behind-the-scenes stories about the Millennium Falcon's design, the challenges of creating realistic explosions, and reflects on his proudest moments in the industry.
