“The real key to doing the special effects on this or any other picture is the experience

and ingenuity of the people involved. It is not the equipment.”

— David Dryer

This quote from Special Photographic Effects Supervisor David Dryer really resonated for me. It’s from an article in the July 1982 issue of American Cinematographer. It’s a great read for any student or fan of visual effects and it details the tenacity, teamwork, and gumption required for complex creative problem solving.
