SVP, Executive Creative Director and Head of ILM, Rob Bredow was also the co-producer of SOLO: A Star Wars Story, working side-by-side with Ron Howard to bring the story (and its visual effects to life).
We go through it all: L3-37, working with Tippett Studios with the new Dejarik pieces and, of course, the breath-taking in-camera work for hyperspace and more. We discuss his previous work with ILMxLab, as well as his vision for the future of the legendary company.
Mr. Bredow is the author of the newest Abrams Books release, Industrial Light & Magic Presents: Making Solo – A Star Wars Story, which comes with my highest recommendation and can be purchased at the following link: https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Light-Magic-Presents-Making/dp/1419737538
Be sure to follow him on Twitter, as well, to keep with his next projects and the cutting-edge stuff that ILM is working on: https://twitter.com/rbredow
A huge thanks to Maya Bradford and Abrams Books for arranging this interview and making it possible. It was a huge honor.
