Behind
Exploring Digital Video:
One
of the features of Exploring Digital Video that
I am the most excited about it the color insert. I am very
proud to be featuring Star Wars Episode II: Attack of
the Clones for several reasons. The first of which
is the tremendous impact that this film has had on digital
video technology. It is the first major motion picture to
be shot digitally on high-definition video as opposed to
on film, paving the way for future movies to follow suit.
But the Star Wars series is not stranger to digital
video. The films have been pioneering digital video technology
since the creation of one of the early nonlinear edition
systems, EditDroid, in the early 1980’s, which leads
me to my second reason. I honestly don’t think I would
be in the field today if it were not for the profound impact
Star Wars had on my life when I was young. I distinctly
remember watching the theatrical movie preview for Stars
Wars in 1977. I was sitting on the floor in my den
playing with my toys- I was six years old at the time. I
heard the Star Wars theme music and I looked up
at the TV just in time to see Luke and Leia swing across
the rope during their escape from the Death Star. I remember
getting goose bumps at that moment, and I was a fan ever
since. I truly have to credit Star Wars for developing
my love for film, expanding my creativity as an individual,
and fostering my interest in technology. So it is a tremendous
honor to be able to interview the special effects people
at Industrial Light and Magic and go behind the scenes of
Stars Wars, which is now inspiring a whole new
generation. –Lisa Rysinger
