A Great Magician, He is !. Review on George Lucas

MAGIC and movies.

The greatest form and technique of storytelling is by expressing your most crazy thoughts , writing and sketching it out in a piece of paper and making a story that is unreal, unimaginable and unthinkable come to life using the best visual effects and an Attitude that says : I AM LARGER THAN LIFE.

I am talking about , the one , the only - The Impeccable dream and visionary man, the ultimate Magician of the digital domain - Mr. George Lucas.

His dream to be a race car driver that crashed when he had a near death experience while driving. Then he went ahead and earned his degree and was religiously dedicated to FILM studies.

Then was a time when people produced what was expected and believable.

During that period Lucas dared to be different and this fine arts graduate went on to sketch his dream with a vision that none other than his brilliance could hold and ideas that could be not depicted in any canvas other than with a technology and medium which we all now know as Industrial Light and Magic - ILM, a place people like me dream of, the ultimate growing ground the greatest place for any passionate designer / animator to grow , learn and contribute . With that came many others like Skywalker Studios and before all this he co -founded the studioAmerican Zeotrope with great minds like Coppola , Francis.

George lucas had a vision which not only required guts but also Technical brilliance because what he wanted to give to people was something which could not be broken down into parts. He gave the world a story telling style which created History and brought all those people who craved for more such dream & fantasy tales just like the Man himself.

He gave smashing hits like American Graffitti which gave him a big break and helped him finally sell his idea to 20th century Fox and set up ILM. His studio which boasts of one of the largest and biggest technological equipments hoarded with the latest and the oldest of machines that have seen, created and produced prints which have made history forever.

George Lucas gave us LUCAS ARTS, he gave us ILM and Skywalker studios and we give him all the love, regards and respect for guiding us and letting us not give up at the early stages of our lives as he has faced hardships of not making it, no money , no idea of what tomorrow is going to bring and a fear of Never going to be there an yet RIGHT HERE, he stands TALL as all he wanted to do was give dreams to people who would be able to see what they could not imagine or even dream about. He gave us a world which is just like the man himself - TRULY larger than life .

Through his innovations and ideas he has contributed to many a social cause, scientific developments, technological upgradations and his films that have been received with thunderous applauds all over the world.

I am not a fan of LUCAS, as I believe he has many of them already, I would like to be someone who has contributed some great and inspiring works to the world of Art and Computer Graphics through massive inspiration from the works of one of the Greatest Mind of our times - Sir George Lucas.
