The Visual Effects Society (VES) held its annual gala on Feb. 10 at the Kodak Ballroom. Millimeter offers photos and interviews from the 2008 VES Awards.
Before receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award from the VES, Steven Spielberg sat down for an exclusive interview with millimeter Senior Editor Michael Goldman to discuss his award, his relationship to the visual-effects industry, his interest in combining traditional filmmaking techniques with pushing the effects’ medium continually forward, and much more.
