Biografia e filmografia

SCOTT FARRAR, ASC

Visual Effects Supervisor and Second Unit Director

Scott Farrar inizia a lavorare per Industrial Light & Magic nel 1981 come operatore di ripresa per Star Trek II: L'ira di Khan. Nel 1985, Farrar riceve il premio oscar dell'Academy per i migliori Effetti Speciali con il Film Cocoon, e due anni dopo è stato promosso a Sipervisore agli effetti speciali per “Chi ha incastrato Roger Rabbit?”.

L'abilità di Farrar di realizzare le visioni dei più grandi registi gli ha fatto guadagnare nomerosi premi e nomination come per il film “Fuoco assassino” (nel 1991) e “A.I Intelligenza Artificiale” (nel 2001) e “le Cronache di Narnia” (nel 2005). Più recentemente il suo lavoro per Transformers, la vendetta del caduto è stato riconosciuto come Best Visual Effects 2011 all'Hollywood Film Festival.

Farrar ha ricevuto molte onorificenze anche in Europa come ai British Academy Award con A.I Artificial Intelligence e Minority Report.

Prima di entrare in ILM, Farrar ha lavorato come operatore di riprese freelancer. Nel 1975 venne invitato a vedere il set dell'allora sconosciuto Star Wars dove scoprì il primo first motion control system; colpito da da questa visione fece di tutto per lavare prima con Robert Abel e quindi per Doug Trumbull per Star Trek: The Motion Picture per poi diventare uno dei più grandi esperti mondiali di effetti speciali!.
