Coming Soon to a Theater Near You！What are special effects? Do you enjoy movies thatuse a lot of special effects Dinosaurs from the distant past!Space battles from the distant future! There has been arevolution in special effects, and it has transformed themovies we see.The revolution began in the mid 1970s with GeorgeLuc as’s Star Wars, a film that stunned(震惊) audiences.That revolution continues to the present, with dramaticchanges in special-effects technology .The companybehind these changes is Lucas’s Industrial Light &Magic(ILM). And the man behind the company is DennisMuren, who has worked with Lucas since Star Wars.Muuren’s interest in special effects began very early.At the age of 6, he was photographing toy dinosaurs andspaceships. At 10, he had an 8 millimeter movie cameraand was making these things move through stop-motion.(Stop-motion is a process in which objects are shot with acamera, moved slightly, shot again, and so on. When theshots are put together, the objects appear to move.)Talk to Muren and you’ll understand what ILM is allabout: taking on new challenges. By 1989, Muren decidedhe pushed the old technology as far as it would go.He saw computer graphics(图像)（CG）technology asthe wave of the future and took a year off to master it.With CG technology, inages can be scanned into acomputer for processing, for example, and many separateshots can be combined into a single image. CG technologyhas now reached the point, Muren says, where special effects can be used to do just about anything so that movies can tell stories than ever before. The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel(续集)，The Lose World, the stars of which were computer-generated dinosaurs, suggests that this may very well be true.1.The special-effects revolution began in the mid 1980swith Star Wars. （）A.R ightB.
