Watch: Star Wars: The Force Awakens Visual Effects Reel

Industrial Light and Magic released a new visual effects reel for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Check out a behind the scenes look at the before and after below.

We are pleased to share a sample of the visual effects work created for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The history of ILM leads all the way back to 1975 and origins of Star Wars and The Force Awakens gave us the opportunity to once again push the boundaries of what is possible in character animation and visual effects while combining cutting edge practical effects and physical sets. ILM studios in San Francisco, Singapore, Vancouver and London each contributed to the film effects as did our partners Hybride, Base FX and Virtuos.
