This is the second book of the series, covering the main movies from the second decade of existence of this company.
An execelent finishing, great value book (although it is a litle expensive, the book quality is exceptional).
Essencial to all Special Effects lovers.

The book is huge and heavy. Every single page has at least several great color photographs and it is a big book. You will love to read about ILM’s ventures into the digital realm. It is very technology orientated, but not too much and does talk about the film making process and ILM in general. This is well worth looking at especially for fans of ILM or those who want to see what goes on behind the scenes or for those looking for a career in this direction. This is a good place for inspiration.
Although it does not cover the more recent movies you will still get the picture here. It starts by talking about go-motion and then moves onto the first ever digital sequence and how much people slaved over it before going into detail with the evolution of that process and of the special edition of Star Wars and Speilberg’s “J. Park”.
The book looks fantastic. Keep it for your grandkids. I am sure they will love you for it. This is the kind of book that you will turn to time and time again just to see “how they did that”.

This book takes a look at the second decade of ILM’s work from 1986 to 1996. It features in-depth looks at the special effects work on movies like Forrest Gump, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park and nearly all other movies from that second decade. There is also an extensive section for the Star Wars Special Editions that describes what they did for the re-releases. The book is a must-have for people who want to look behind the scenes of state-of-the-art special effects work. It also includes some interviews with the people from ILM who describe their work

This is the second book to come out of industrial light and
magic, the amazing special effects company that brought us
such movies as Star Wars. In this volume ILM chronicles its
second decade (1986-96) detailing the special effects in an
easy to understand way, unfortunatly it does not go nearly
as in-depth as its predecessor ; only giving us a rough out-
line as to how the effects are created. It is still one of the
best on the market and should be of interest of any movie fan.
More serious effects buffs should check out the first book
by past ILM president Thomas G. Smith.
