BIRTHPLACE OF MODERN VFX
3210 Kerner Blvd. was built by ILM in 1980 as they were
expanding beyond their original building next door, 3160. It was built
to house a sound stage, a screening room and offices to support the
artists and technicians who were pioneering into the field of optical
and digital imagery. This historic building is where the LUCASFILM
COMPUTER DIVISON, now known as
PIXAR, wrote, produced and animated their first short "
Andre and Wally B". 3210 was also home to the
EDIT DROID, one the first non-linear film editing systems and testing ground for
Display / ImagePro, which was eventually renamed
Photoshop.
