A lot of the UK guys switched between TV and Movies..I think that SW showed the audience, and the World in general, that a lot of people were needed to build those models/props that we all love and try to re-create (as we have seen some members doing just that over the years)!
They had names, faces and the behind the scene pics added to the magic!
Apart from Trumbull or Brian Johnson; can anybody name many others who contributed to that iconic movie called "2001 A Space Odyssey"?
No, because these very talented artists were never as exposed as the ones working for ILM!
We learned, later (since most of the filming was done in the U.K.) that a lot of those same artists (Freeborn and all) worked for "2001 ASO" also
I cant off the top of my head name more than a couple..
Jonathan Angel worked on many including Outland and Bob Keen had his own crew and did the effects on the early Hellraiser and Nightbreed I seem to remember.
I was invited to the set of Outland as mums workplace did some electroplating for the movie.
I know a lot of the Dr Who guys did both TV and Films but namewise ?
I would say it was the time thing but movies have pretty much always had people taking photos onset and b crews shot film for the director we just don't get to see as much but certainly 8mm cameras and later 35 mm and digital cameras meant it was harder to stop leaked images and brought in the no camera/phone rule on most sets but that's another matter.
I guess its what sticks with and wanted by the general public combined with a monetary value too and if its avaliable..
Iook at the price of movie props and copies of props..
