ORAL HISTORY BOOK:
INDUSTRIAL LIGHT & MAGIC: THE ART OF INNOVATION

Client: Abrams Books
Researcher / Interviewer / Author


This 400-page book is an extensively illustrated oral history of the multiple Academy Award winning visual effects company founded by George Lucas in 1975. Its tale begins with a small team of craftspeople, engineers, and artists who pioneered analog effects that had never before been attempted or realized on the screen for Star Wars.  A behind-the-scenes record of the state-of-the-art innovations that have driven moviemaking magic, the book features candid stories from the filmmakers, artists, and technicians who were there, breaking barriers and changing the history of cinema with their early work on cultural landmarks, such as the Star Wars saga, the Indiana Jones series, E.T., Terminator 2, and Jurassic Park.  The book was featured in the Holiday Buying Guide in The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times.

The reviewer for FX Guide wrote:

"The author approaches the subject matter not as a ‘fan boy’, but as a serious writer documenting one of the most significant contributors to cinema in the modern age."

PODCAST - COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION WORKSHOP PROJECT: Watford Palace Theatre

Client: Watford Palace Theatre
Producer / Script Developer / Sound Designer / Audio Editor
This 20-minute podcast features reminiscence (oral history) recordings created as part of a community participation project.  The project was linked to the Theatre's production of Elton John's Glasses.  In this play, the main character is obsessed with the dramatic loss of the Watford Football Club in the 1984 cup final.  Workshop participants recorded their memories of Watford in 1984 for the podcast project, as part of an initiative to promote community involvement with Theatre's productions.   Extracts from these recordings, along with music evoking the era, were combined to produce the podcast. The full podcast was presented on the Theatre's website.  A 3-minute promotional version was also produced.

The community participation project, including the podcast production, was supported by a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant.
