ILM takes a hit on a big day for Clone Wars.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Lucasfilm is shutting down one of its key ILM studios on the 15th anniversary of Star Wars: The Clone Wars' theatrical release. Originally conceived as the first arc of The Clone Wars TV series, George Lucas saw an opportunity to bring the story to the big screen, transforming the episodes into a movie.
Disney and Lucasfilm announced the closing of ILM Singapore "due to economic factors affecting the industry.” The VFX and animation studio opened in 2004 to work on The Clone Wars, the group moved into a state-of-the-art facility known as the Sandcrawler Building in 2013, named for its design based on the vehicle. Around 300 staffers are expected to be impacted by layoffs, and Lucasfilm is said to be working to find them employment opportunities with other companies.
Lucasfilm Singapore Has A Proud History As an extension of ILM, the Singapore facility brought in talented visual effects artists from Southeast Asia to expand Lucas' vision for Star Wars. As the first CG animated show to be created, The Clone Wars was highly experimental. Lucasfilm lacked the resources domestically to animate the show to its fullest potential, hence creating the opportunity overseas.
