More Information About Michael Rubin Talks about Droidmaker: George Lucas, Pixar, and the Digital Revolution
Description
During the making of Empire Strikes Back, George Lucas launched a secret research project that would go on to impact key media tools for editing, audio, video games and computer graphics. What began as a revolutionary notion about the democratization of cinema in the late 1960s from radicals like George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola continues to influence our experience of the personal computer today. Join industry guru Michael Rubin (Director of Product Management at Netflix) as he chronicles the intermingling of indie filmmaking and technology, and connects the dots from Star Wars to Web 2.0.
