| ILM Is THE best effects house in the world. It has won many awards including 15 Oscars. Originally set up in 1975 just so George Lucas could have the special effects he wanted in Star Wars. This task needed nothing less than a fully independent and staffed effects house. After they had completed Star Wars he needed to keep the personnel ready for when he completed the script for The Empire Strikes Back so he kept them all together, named the company Industrial Light and Magic and sold their services to other film makers (Although, in the beginning he only let close friends use the almighty power of ILM). At the start George Lucas hired a chap called John Dykstra to head up his little project. John was the genius behind the stunning S/FX in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, sadly that film focused a little too much on the effects and not enough on the plot. John didn't go with ILM when the moved to North California. He left to set up his own effects house called Apogee, where he did stuff like Battlestar Galactica and of course Star Trek: The Motion Picture. ILM on the other hand went on to rule the Special Effects industry.
This is ILM's Filmography. You may be surprised at how many and what kind of films they have been involved in.
