It was interesting to hear him field questions from every direction as people shoved things in front of him to sign. He was dog tired, too, but put up with us geeks. :) >>Brad

My interest in filmmaking really started as an 11/12-year-old because of the Special Edition of Star Wars. Photoshop was an amazing tool I started using around that time as well. The first time I really knew about John Knoll was watching the features on the Star Wars prequel DVDs. I guess what separates me from other Star Wars nerd fans is that I have always been more interested in how the movies were made more than anything else, vfx being the biggest component of those movies. John Knoll has always done a fantastic job on all the projects he's been involved with! I was really glad to hear what he had to say about Mission to Mars, I remember watching that movie as a 15-year-old and being let down because of the fantasy direction they took. These "Masters of the Craft" segments make fantastic series on fxguidetv, great idea and I look forward to more! John Knoll is a personal hero of mine.
