Visual Effects for "The Mask
by Steve Williams, Industrial Light, Magic
🏆 Award of Distinction · Prix Ars Electronica 1995
In 1995, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Visual Effects for "The Mask” by Steve Williams, Industrial Light and Magic (Computer Animation) with an Award of Distinction.
Thanks to the animation skills of ILM, in the film "The Mask" a shy bank clerk is transformed into a cartoon character by putting on a mask. "The Mask" is a zany comedy about a mild mannered bank teller who finds a magical mask that transforms him into a real "cartoon character".
