Revision as of 01:44, 12 September 2008

Template:Realworld Template:2008spoiler Kerner Optical, LLC is an independent visual effects company operating on Kerner Blvd. in San Rafael, California. Kerner Optical specializes in practical effects and model making for film, television, and commercials. They have a non-exclusive agreement with Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), which has provided the company work on several ILM projects, including 2009's Star Trek.

Kerner Optical previously made up the physical production departments of ILM. When ILM moved its digital effects departments to San Francisco in 2005, it was determined that the physical production departments would remain in the original San Rafael facilities. ILM's former physical production departments ultimately became Kerner Optical, operating independently of and in conjunction with ILM. Kerner Optical finalized its purchase from ILM in 2006, with the company officially opening for business in August of that year. [1]

Among the services offered by Kerner Optical are: model, creature, and makeup shops; special effects and pyrotechnics; property and set construction; camera engineering and design; rigging and mechanical effects; stereoscopic 3D and blue/green screen capabilities; and fully operational stages and production facilities for interior and exterior filming. Since becoming its own independent entity in 2006, Kerner Optical has worked on such films as Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (which featured Lee Arenberg and Greg Ellis), Evan Almighty (which starred Jimmy Bennett), Transformers (written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci), and Paramount Pictures' The Spiderwick Chronicles and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
