droidMAKER: george lucas and the digital revolution
The story of George Lucas, his intensely private company, and their work to revolutionize filmmaking. In the process, they made computer history. DROIDMAKER is an insider's chronicle of Lucas' uneasy role between business, technology and entertainment. Discover the birth of Pixar, digital video editing, videogame avatars, high definition television, THX sound, and a host of other icons of the media age.
Lucas and his friend Francis Ford Coppola were not only central to the renaissance of independent film, but they played a pivotal role in the universe of entertainment technologies we see everyday. If you enjoy movies, or use computers for video, music or games, you are living in a world imagined by George Lucas from behind the walls of his hidden fortress. DROIDMAKER takes you inside those walls for the firstever look at the secrets, the myths, and ultimately, the reality of Lucasfilm.
Rubin -- a Brown alum ('85) and former member of the Lucasfilm Computer Division -- interviewed key personnel (past and present) from Lucasfilm, Pixar and Zoetrope, to reconstruct the events in Hollywood, in Silicon Valley, and at Lucas' private realm in Marin County, California, to track the genesis of modern media.
