over the years,I've travelled through time, breathed life back into dinosaurs and blown up entire planets. today, i work at industrial light&magic, but my interest in special effects goes back to my childhood. i remember seeing the alien in the war of the worlds zap some soldiers with a ray gun and i thought to myself, "i want to do that." my father had a home movie camera and i filmed my brother pretending to be a soldier. then i filmed some fireworks exploding. my mum went crazy when she saw it, but my dad thought it was really funny and
