Innovator, creative visionary, technical wizard, extraordinary animator, cartoon-character - all have been used to describe 'larger-than-life' CG modeler & animator, now director & educator, Steve "Spaz" Williams. Spaz's uncanny ability to create realistic digital characters while understanding highly technical computer processes caught the attention of ILM more than 25 years ago and his work is, to this day, regarded as revolutionary.
Just have a look at Jurassic Park (1993) and you'll see the then ground-breaking dinosaur still holds up strong today as an incredible, realistic CG character (done well before any software was developed to make the task manageable).
Chief Modeler & Animator on The Abyss, Terminator 2, and Jurassic Park and Visual Effects Supervisor, Second Unit Director and Executive Producer on Spawn, Williams' career is full of CGI 'firsts'.
He was also nominated for an Academy Award for his contribution to The Mask. "Steve Williams: Wizard of Awe" delves into Williams' personal life to find out what lies beneath his larger than life character.
