SUMMARY:Event - Illusions of Flight: Behind the Scenes of Hollywood's Aviation Classics (Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:VES Members And A Guest Are Invited To The Academy’s Illusions Of Flight: Behind The Scenes Of Hollywood’s Aviation Classics with special guests\, VES Founters Award-winner and Board member Craig Barron and Ben Burtt \nClick here to RSVP\n	Thursday\, August 14\, 2014 at 7:00PM\n	Linwood Dunn Theater at the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study\n	1313 Vine Street\, Los Angeles\, CA 90028\n	(Free parking off Homewood Avenue\, one block North of Fountain)\n	Click here for a map \nFrom the late 1920s through the 1950s\, Hollywood produced many great aviation-themed classics\, including Best Picture winner WINGS (1927)\, HELL’S ANGELS (1930)\, THE DAWN PATROL (1930)\, THE LOST SQUADRON (1932)\, FLYING TIGERS (1942)\, AIR FORCE (1943)\, THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO (1944)\, TWELVE O’CLOCK HIGH (1949) and CHAIN LIGHTNING (1950). \nIn those early days\, stunt pilots flew their planes into the ground\, intrepid cameramen filmed from open cockpits\, special effects artists rigged full-scale and miniature planes for thrills and spills\, and unique mechanical and optical technology was invented to create the illusion of flying. In later decades\, BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1969)\, THE RIGHT STUFF (1983) and TOP GUN (1986) built upon the original technical legacy\, while recent films such as THE AVIATOR (2004)\, AMELIA (2009) and RED TAILS (2012) have created similar flying action using completely new techniques. \nUsing newly unearthed stunt and crash footage collected by pioneering stunt pilot Dick Grace\, along with Warner Bros. and MGM outtakes and vintage sound recordings\, Craig Barron and Ben Burtt will relate the story of those early stunt fliers and filmmakers in ways never heard or seen before. See how mechanical gimbels\, rear projection and matte paintings expanded the creative possibilities of the genre\, and learn how sound effects were created and used to bring to life the visceral sensations of roaring engines and combat munitions. \nCraig Barron has contributed visual effects to more than 100 films including THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK\, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and HUGO. He earned an Oscar® nomination for his work on Batman Returns and received an Oscar and a BAFTA for Visual Effects for THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. \nBen Burtt’s first two Oscars® were Special Achievement Awards for the creation of the alien\, creature and robot voices featured in STAR WARS and for Sound Effects Editing for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. He has since earned Oscars for his work on E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL and INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE\, and nominations for RETURN OF THE JEDI\, WILLOW and WALL-E\, among others.

SUMMARY:Screening - LILAC TIME (Los Angeles)

As the flyers head off on a dangerous mission\, the pilot promises to return to his beloved. LILAC TIME was the first big aviation film released with a synchronized Vitaphone track. The film was shot silent\, but music and sound effects were added in post-production. The film paired major star Colleen Moore with rising leading man Gary Cooper\, fresh off his breakthrough role in Wings. Airplane crack-up master Dick Grace did some major stunts in the film\, and aerial footage shot for this film reappeared in the 1930 film THE DAWN PATROL. \n1928\, 100 minutes\, black and white\, 35mm | Directed by George Fitzmaurice; adaptation by Willis Goldbeck\, scenario by Carey Wilson\, based on the play by Jane Cowl and Jane Murfin; with Colleen Moore\, Gary Cooper\, Burr McIntosh\, George Cooper\, Cleve Moore\, Kathryn McGuire\, Eugenie Besserer. \nCraig Barron has contributed visual effects to more than 100 films including THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK\, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and HUGO.

SUMMARY:Screening - TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH (Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:VES Members And A Guest Are Invited To An Academy Screeing Of TWELVE O’CLOCK HIGH with special guests\, VES Founters Award-winner and Board member Craig Barron and Ben Burtt \nClick here to RSVP\n	Saturday\, August 16\, 2014 at 7:00PM\n	Linwood Dunn Theater at the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study\n	1313 Vine Street\, Los Angeles\, CA 90028\n	(Free parking off Homewood Avenue\, one block North of Fountain)\n	Click here for a map \nBased on the true story of the 306th Bombardment Group of the Eighth Air Force\, TWELVE O’CLOCK HIGH offers a dramatic glimpse of the group of aviators who flew daylight bombing missions against Nazi Germany and occupied France during the early days of American involvement in World War II. Co-writer Beirne Lay\, Jr. brought his own wartime experiences to bear in the screenplay\, and the film was one of the first to present a more realistic view of the enormous difficulties faced by bomber crews during WWII. Instead of using extensive special effects to create the aviation action\, the filmmakers included combat footage that was actually filmed in the skies over Europe by U.S. Air Force and German Luftwaffe photographers. Legendary stunt pilot Paul Mantz crash-landed an actual B-17 bomber for the opening scene in the film. Dean Jagger received an Academy Award for Supporting Actor for his work in TWELVE O’CLOCK HIGH\, which also won an Oscar for Sound Recording and was nominated for Best Picture. Star Gregory Peck received his fourth Best Actor nomination for his performance as the group’s dedicated leader. \n1949\, 133 minutes\, black and white\, 35mm | Directed by Henry King; written by Sy Bartlett and Beirne Lay\, Jr.\, based on their novel; with Gregory Peck\, Hugh Marlowe\, Gary Merrill\, Millard Mitchell\, Dean Jagger\, Robert Arthur\, Paul Stewart\, John Kellogg. \nCraig Barron has contributed visual effects to more than 100 films including THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK\, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and HUGO. He earned an Oscar® nomination for his work on Batman Returns and received an Oscar and a BAFTA for Visual Effects for THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. \nBen Burtt’s first two Oscars® were Special Achievement Awards for the creation of the alien\, creature and robot voices featured in STAR WARS and for Sound Effects Editing for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. He has since earned Oscars for his work on E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL and INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE\, and nominations for RETURN OF THE JEDI\, WILLOW and WALL-E\, among others.

SUMMARY:Screening - THE RIGHT STUFF (Los Angeles)
DESCRIPTION:VES Members And A Guest Are Invited To An Academy Screeing Of THE RIGHT STUFF with special guests\, VES Founters Award-winner and Board member Craig Barron and Ben Burtt \nClick here to RSVP\n	Sunday\, August 17\, 2014 at 7:00PM\n	Linwood Dunn Theater at the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study\n	1313 Vine Street\, Los Angeles\, CA 90028\n	(Free parking off Homewood Avenue\, one block North of Fountain)\n	Click here for a map \nBased on Tom Wolfe’s bestselling book\, director Philip Kaufman’s four-time Oscar-winning film follows the history of the military’s aeronautical research at Edwards Air Force Base\, led by Chuck Yeager\, and the struggles of the seven test pilots selected to be the astronauts of Project Mercury\, the first attempt at manned spaceflight by the United States. Made before computer generated imagery (CGI)\, the production started its visual effects sequences using conventional motion control cameras and technology that was developed for STAR WARS (1977). Kaufman rejected these early efforts as “too clean\, smooth and composed\,” however\, prompting visual effects supervisor Gary Gutierrez and his team to employ more unconventional techniques such as using a cross-bow catapult to hurl models of F-104s into a sky filled with “clouds” created by insecticide foggers. The blending of these kinetic techniques with full-scale mock-ups and stock footage allowed for exciting action sequences that were seamlessly integrated into a documentary style and resulted in a movie that is now considered by many to be the definitive film on test pilot aviation and early space exploration. \n1983\, 193 minutes\, color\, 35mm | Directed and written by Philip Kaufman\, based on the novel by Tom Wolfe; with Sam Shepard\, Scott Glenn\, Ed Harris\, Dennis Quaid\, Fred Ward\, Barbara Hershey\, Kim Stanley\, Veronica Cartwright. \nCraig Barron has contributed visual effects to more than 100 films including THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK\, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and HUGO. He earned an Oscar® nomination for his work on Batman Returns and received an Oscar and a BAFTA for Visual Effects for THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. \nBen Burtt’s first two Oscars® were Special Achievement Awards for the creation of the alien\, creature and robot voices featured in STAR WARS and for Sound Effects Editing for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.
