CGI Friday | Doug Trumbull Lived in the Future, and I Was Lucky to Visit

The world became a little less amazing two days ago.

When we lost my friend Doug Trumbull to his battle with cancer, at age 79, it sent a ripple of shock and sadness throughout the universe. Particularly the universe of visual effect artists who, in complete unison, credit his work on films like Blade Runner (1982) and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) as one of their main reasons for entering the field.

Ed Kramer on the passing of Doug Trumbull. Read more at The Companion.
