Interviews with ILM Animation Supervisor Steve "Spaz" Williams: Wizard of Awe

Here's a fantastic short documentary by Lauren Millar featuring animator and VFX supervisor Steve 'Spaz' Williams. There's also some great footage from the old ILM studio location in San Rafael, CA. Funny enough I was actually in 'The Pit' room a year or so ago when I visited Creature Art & Mechanics Digital. All that's left in the room is a polaroid picture of Steve's studio space complete with Canadian flag.

Ray Harryhausen 90th Birthday BAFTA Tribute

I know this video has been around for a while but I just saw it the other day. It's a great reflection/celebration of the life, work and creative influence of  Ray Harryhausen. The Ray Bradbury interview is especially awesome!
