Industrial Light & Magic

Industrial Light and Magic is a movie special effects studio founded by Star Wars writer/director George Lucas in May of 1975, and is currently owned by Lucas's main motion picture studio, Lucasfilm. The company is known for its outstanding work in many motion pictures, including the first computer-generated imagery animation in a feature length film, the first movie shot entirely on digital cameras, and for the development of the Pixar computer system (before they seperated and were eventually bought out). The San Francisco-based company has participated in the production of over 200 movies in the past 32 years.

ILM is responsible for the majority of the CGI in the upcoming live action Transformers movie.
