Creating The Razor Crest for Disney Plus’ The Mandalorian

Making A Ship Worthy For An Infamous Bounty Hunter

It’s only five weeks until The Mandalorian season two comes to Disney Plus in the US and here’s a fun behind the scenes video on how they created The Razor Crest from ILM themselves…

Join us as we journey behind the scenes of the Emmy™ Award-winning visual effects behind the first season of The Mandalorian. We’ll pull back the curtain on one of our favourite bounty hunter’s ship, the infamous Razor Crest and look at the distinctive former military ship from its initial concept design in Doug Chiang’s Lucasfilm art department through to ILM artists building the ship in the digital realm and as a practical miniature for filming. We’ll also look at the parallel development of the custom motion control camera system created by ILM Visual Effects Supervisor, John Knoll to allow for the first motion control shots to film at ILM in 15 years. We hope you enjoy this look ‘Inside ILM’.
