'The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug' Production Diary #14

A look at the behind the scenes of scoring the film.

Original Animatic Of The 'Return Of The Jedi' Death Star Battle

Ken Ralston, who worked on the visual effects for Return of the Jedi, discusses the "moving storyboard" created for the film's climactic Death Star attack sequence.

It was crude -- sound effects were made by the crew themselves -- but effective. "I was hoping it would be in the movie," Ralston jokes. "But I guess not."

George Lucas was impressed, and spliced these temporary sequences into the live-action footage he had. From there, Ralston and ILM were able to use their "moving storyboards" as a guide for creating the actual scenes.
