Modelmaker to take ILM unit solo

June 14th, 2006 by Dunc · 2 Comments

Industrial Light & Magic is in negotiations to sell their physical production unit. The purchaser is Mark Anderson, a model maker who’s worked for ILM for 15 years. The unit will be renamed Kerner Optical and continue as a ILM preferred subcontractor in addition to seeking work from other sources.

Employees were informed yesterday, and the company hopes the deal will be finalized in 60 days.

    Why did I read that as “Kenner” Optical?

    Maybe they use a lot of action figures in their work?
