本书涉足从未被探索的领域，鲁宾——卢卡斯影业电脑部前成员——重构了在好莱坞、硅谷以及卢卡斯位于加州马林县的私人领地所发生的事件，以追踪现代媒体的起源。凭借对卢卡斯影业、皮克斯和佐伊特罗普的图像与关键参与者的空前接触——从乔治·卢卡斯及其公司高管，到实现技术飞跃的小型科学家团队——鲁宾编织了一个关于友谊、对电影的热爱以及技术不断前行的故事。

……在 ILM 就是这么干的。他们用技术来帮助做出需要的镜头，这催生了数字剪辑、计算机镜头布局，以及许多如今看来稀松平常的技术进步。强烈推荐 Michael Rubin 的《Droidmaker》。
…did at ILM. They used technology to help create the shots they need, which lead to digital editing, computer shot layouts, and many other tech advances that seems standard these days. Highly recommend Droidmaker by Michael Rubin
也非常、非常推荐《Droidmaker: George Lucas And the Digital Revolution》，书里 Alvy Ray Smith 出场很多。它有个主页：https://www.droidmaker.com
Also very, very much recommended: "Droidmaker: George Lucas And the Digital Revolution", which features Alvy Ray Smith a lot. It has a homepage at https://www.droidmaker.com
另一本讲计算机图形学早期历史的佳作是《Droidmaker》[1]。这本书名义上是讲 George Lucas 及其贡献的，却花了大量篇幅讲述那些计算机图形学先驱在入职之前都在做些什么……
Another great book that covers the early days of computer graphics work is Droidmaker [1] For a book that is purportedly about George Lucas and his contributions, it's goes into a great amount of detail about the histories of the computer graphics pioneers were doing before they worked…
所有这些以及更多内容都写在《Droidmaker》[1] 里，这本书讲的是 Lucas 对电影和电影技术的贡献。《星球大战》的影响也许巨大，但很明显，跟他数字和技术方面的工作比起来，那些贡献就相形见绌了……
All of this and more is covered in DroidMaker [1], a book that covers Lucas' contributions to film and film technology. Star Wars may have had a huge impact, but it's clear that those contributions are dwarfed by his work on the digital and tech…
……开拍前就遭到外界批评。说这话的人，当年顶着巨大压力、付出极大个人代价、花光自己每一分钱才把《星球大战》拍出来。话虽如此，读完《Droidmaker》之后，我对 Lucas 不仅有过构想、而且真正做成、还做得很好的那些不同事情，有了新的敬意——尽管当时 Lucasfilm/Lucasarts 同时在往好几个方向跑。……
…outside criticism before shooting began. This, coming from the guy who fought against enormous odds, at great personal cost, and spent every dollar he had to get Star Wars made. That said, after reading Droidmaker I got a renewed appreciation for all of the different things Lucas not only had the vision for, but did, and did well, even though Lucasfilm/Lucasarts was running in several different directions at once.…
……通过 American Zeotrope 走到一起，在各自的项目上互相鼓励（也互相竞争）。讲 Lucas 的故事就绕不开 Coppola。这些在《Droidmaker》里有很多细节。[0] [0] https://www.droidmaker.com/
…together through American Zeotrope, both encouraging each other (and competing) in their respective projects. You can't tell the story of Lucas without talking about Coppola. A lot of this is detailed in Droidmaker. [0] [0] https://www.droidmaker.com/
