John Knoll just did a talk over at TED about the process of film visual effects. They posted an article and photos, but sadly no video yet. Hopefully soon!

John compared how visual effects were made for movies from the 1950s with contemporary movies. He showed clips from Disney’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and clips from Pirates of the Caribbean.
