'''Industrial Light & Magic''' ('''ILM''') is an American [[Film|motion picture]] [[visual effects]], [[computer animation]] and [[stereo conversion]] digital studio founded by [[George Lucas]] on May 26, 1975.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nbcchicago.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/Industrial-Light-Magic-40-Years-of-Unforgettable-Star-Wars-Moments-313454061.html|title='Star Wars' and Industrial Light & Magic: 40 Years of 'Magic' Moments|last=Bertram|first=Colin|date=July 11, 2015|publisher=NBC Chicago|access-date=November 9, 2018}}</ref> It is a division of the film production company [[Lucasfilm]], which Lucas founded, and was created when he began production on the original ''[[Star Wars (film)|Star Wars]]'',<ref>{{Cite book|title=Droidmaker: George Lucas and the Digital Revolution|publisher=Triad Publishing Company|year=2005|isbn=9789780937409}} (2006 {{ISBN|9780937404676}})</ref> now the fourth episode of the [[Skywalker Saga]].

ILM originated in [[Van Nuys]], California, then later moved to [[San Rafael, California|San Rafael]] in 1978, and since 2005 it has been based at the [[Letterman Digital Arts Center]] in the [[Presidio of San Francisco]]. In 2012, [[The Walt Disney Company]] acquired ILM as part of its purchase of Lucasfilm.<ref name=latimes>{{cite news|others=Contributed to by Joe Flint|title=Disney would acquire a visual effects firm with Lucasfilm deal|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/la-xpm-2012-oct-31-la-fi-ct-disney-lucasfilm-20121101-story.html|access-date=4 November 2012|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=31 October 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200609161702/https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/la-xpm-2012-oct-31-la-fi-ct-disney-lucasfilm-20121101-story.html|archive-date=June 9, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> As of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, Industrial Light & Magic has won 15 [[Academy Awards]] for [[Academy Award for Best Visual Effects|Best Visual Effects]].<ref name=details/>

Lucas wanted his 1977 film ''[[Star Wars (film)|Star Wars]]'' to include visual effects that had never been seen on film before.<ref name=SW>{{cite web|url=https://www.starwars.com/themovies/saga/19990715news.html|title=Industrial Light & Magic: History|work=StarWars.com|publisher=Lucasfilm|date=July 15, 1999|access-date=February 1, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110216050728/http://www.starwars.com/themovies/saga/19990715news.html|archive-date=February 16, 2011}}</ref> After discovering that the in-house effects department at [[20th Century Fox]] was no longer operational, Lucas approached [[Douglas Trumbull]], best known for the effects on ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey (film)|2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' (1968) and ''[[Silent Running]]'' (1972). Trumbull declined as he was already committed to working on [[Steven Spielberg]]'s film ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]'' (1977), but suggested his assistant [[John Dykstra]] to Lucas. Dykstra brought together a small team of college students, artists, and engineers and set them up in a warehouse in [[Van Nuys]], California.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cnet.com/culture/john-dykstra-star-wars-anniversary-industrial-light-and-magic-special-effects/ |title='Youth and ignorance' drove eye-popping 'Star Wars' effects |website=CNET |date=May 4, 2017}}</ref> After seeing the map for the location was zoned as [[Light industry|light industrial]], Lucas named the group Industrial Light and Magic,<ref>{{Citation|title=Interviewing Return of the Jedi Lucasfilm VFX Editor Bill Kimberlin - Rule of Two| date=7 April 2021 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeIXcIwJ-Zo| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211109/aeIXcIwJ-Zo| archive-date=2021-11-09 | url-status=live|access-date=2021-04-08}}{{cbignore}}</ref> which became the Special Visual Effects department on ''Star Wars''.

[[File:ILM first Headquater.jpg|thumb|500px|Parking lot and building of the first company headquarters of ILM in [[Van Nuys]], where the special effects of the first ''Star Wars'' movie were produced]]
In late 1978, when in pre-production for ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'', Lucas reformed most of the team into Industrial Light & Magic in [[Marin County, California]]. From here on, the company expanded and has since gone on to produce special effects for over three hundred films, including the entire ''[[Star Wars]]'' saga, the ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' series, and the ''[[Jurassic Park]]'' series.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.wired.com/2015/12/the-untold-story-of-ilm/ |title=The Untold Story of ILM, a Titan That Forever Changed Film |magazine=Wired |date=December 21, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://collider.com/16-things-to-know-about-ilms-history-from-star-wars-to-michael-bay/ |title=14 Things to Know About ILM's History: From STAR WARS to Michael Bay |website=Collider |date=May 19, 2015}}</ref>

After the success of the first ''Star Wars'' movie, Lucas became interested in using [[computer graphics]] on the sequel. He contacted [[Information International, Inc.|Triple-I]], known for their early computer effects in movies like ''[[Westworld (film)|Westworld]]'' (1973), ''[[Futureworld]]'' (1976), ''[[Tron]]'' (1982), and ''[[The Last Starfighter]]'' which ended up making a computer-generated test of five [[X-wing fighter]]s flying in formation. He found it to be too expensive and returned to handmade models. Nevertheless, the test had shown him it was possible, and he decided he would create his own computer graphics department instead. As a result, they started investing in [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] and [[Silicon Graphics|SGI]] computers. One of Lucas' employees was given the task to find the right people to hire. His search would lead him to NYIT, where he found [[Edwin Catmull]] and his colleagues. Catmull and others accepted Lucas' job offer, and a new computer division at Lucasfilm, named The Graphics Group, was created in 1979, which technically belonged to another division than ILM, with the hiring of Ed Catmull as the first NYIT employee who joined the company.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ph/nyit/morrison/1970s.txt|title=1970s - School of Computer Science - Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fnBqEAAAQBAJ&dq=Sprockets+Systems+Research+and+Development+Lucasfilm+EditDroid+THX&pg=PT170|title=The Empire of Effects: Industrial Light and Magic and the Rendering of Realism|first=Julie A.|last=Turnock|date=14 June 2022|publisher=University of Texas Press|isbn=9781477325322 |via=Google Books}}</ref> Lucas' list for them was a digital film editing system, a digital sound editing system, a laser film printer, and further exploration of computer graphics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pixar.com/our-story-pixar|title=Pixar Animation Studios|website=Pixar Animation Studios}}</ref> [[John Lasseter]], who was hired a few years later, worked on computer-animation as part of ILM's contribution to ''[[Young Sherlock Holmes]]''.

ILM operated from an inconspicuous property in San Rafael, California until 2005. The company was known to locals as [[Kerner Optical|The Kerner Company]], a name that did not draw any attention, allowing the company to operate in secret, thus preventing the compromise of sensitive information on its productions to the media or fans.<ref>Rubin (2006); p. 253</ref><ref name="EmpireOfDreams">{{Cite video|title=[[Empire of Dreams]]: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy|medium=DVD|date=2004|publisher=Star Wars Trilogy Box Set DVD documentary}}</ref> In 2005, when Lucas decided to move locations to the Presidio of San Francisco and focus on digital effects, a management-led team bought the five physical and practical effects divisions and formed a new company that included the George Lucas Theater, retained the "Kerner" name as Kerner Technologies, Inc. and provided physical effects for major motion pictures, often working with ILM, until its Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/2011/film/news/kerner-optical-shutters-amid-bankruptcy-1118042318/ |title=Kerner Optical shutters amid bankruptcy |website=Variety |date=September 6, 2011}}</ref>

In 2005, ILM extended its operations to Lucasfilm [[Singapore]], which also includes the Singapore arm of [[Lucasfilm Animation]]. In 2006, ILM invented IMoCap (Image Based Motion Capture Technology).<ref name="beforesandafters.com">{{cite web |url=https://beforesandafters.com/2019/09/10/computer-pajamas-the-history-of-ilms-imocap/ |title='Computer pajamas': the history of ILM's IMocap |website=befores & afters |date=September 10, 2019}}</ref> By 2007, ILM was one of the largest visual effects vendors in the motion picture industry and had one of the largest [[render farm]]s (named [[Death Star (ILM)|Death Star]]).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2007/01/26/the-real-death-star-data-center |title=The Real "Death Star" Data Center |website=DataCenter Knowledge |date=January 26, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6584075.stm |title=The power behind LucasFilm magic |website=BBC News |date=April 24, 2007}}</ref> In 2011, it was announced the company was considering a project-based facility in [[Vancouver]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/lucasfilms-industrial-light-magic-exploring-221520/ |title=Lucasfilm's Industrial Light + Magic Exploring Opening New Facility in Vancouver |website=The Hollywood Reporter |date=August 10, 2011}}</ref> ILM first opened a temporary facility in Vancouver before relocating to a new 30,000-square-foot studio on Water Street in the Gastown district in 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/ilm-launches-new-vancouver-visual-689174/ |title=ILM Launches New Vancouver Visual Effects Facility |website=The Hollywood Reporter |date=March 17, 2014}}</ref>
