Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones, released in May
2002, is Industrial Light & Magic's (ILM) first movie produced
after converting its workstations and renderfarm to Linux last
year. Located north of San Francisco in San Rafael, California,
ILM was founded in 1975 to produce the visual effects for Star
Wars. Although owned by George Lucas, ILM produces visual effects
for more than Lucasfilm productions, such as the Star Wars and
Indiana Jones films. Many other studios seeking that bit of something
extra on the cutting edge of special effects use ILM. ILM has
received 14 Academy Awards, including ones for its work on Forrest
Gump, Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and
E.T.
