Lucas's New HQ

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-wish-i-had-that-kind-of-metal dept.

pin_gween writes "The KS City Star reports George Lucas (of the "It's not about the money" fame) has opened a new headquarters for digital film works. The campus has, among several movie theaters, "data network with more than 300 10-gigabyte ports. Fiber-optics cables are connected to every artist desktop, allowing high-resolution images on each computer. In all, there are 600 miles of cable throughout the campus's four buildings." Not too shabby, or cheap."

      You're right. Star Wars episode 3 was very boring and childish. Lars von Trier has produced better films, like Dogville, on a low budget. A good film is not about the special effects but the story. Star Wars caved in at the last episode.

    Lucas said he'll likely keep away from the center and instead focus on developing a final "Indiana Jones" film and smaller film projects. it'll be titled, Indiana Jones and The Wrath of George Lucas!

    easy, it can be a sweatshop because lots of geeks are foolish enough to greatly desire that job. Its just supply and demand. as long as the worker doesn't think of it as exploitation, then it isn't. If he does and sticks with it with when there are definitely other jobs to be had, then he is just an idiot.

    you can work somewhere else, its not nonsense. people like to complain. and hey, those people have all the intangible benefits of saying they worked on The Phantom Menace.
