Illustration Alumni team up with Lucasfilm and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment to re-package a modern classic. |
|
Alumni and Fullerton Professor's both, Cheryl Savala, MA '94 and Cliff Cramp, MFA '98 recount their first encounter with George Lucas' epic film, Star Wars.
"...I sat in the Orange Cinedome theater awaiting the trumpeting fanfare of the Twentieth Century Fox monolith. Moments later, the audience was transported into the galaxy we all know as far, far away. I was hooked that day nearly 25 years ago. To say I was a geek is an understatement. To be honest I'm STILL a geek!"
Cheryl Savala, Executive Creative Director, Menagerie Creative

"I remember when I was a small child being loaded into the back of our
Ford Fairlane Station Wagon with my brother and carted off to the Drive-in so that mom and dad could enjoy a night at the movies. They had enough cash to see the movie, but not enough for a babysitter, so we tagged along. Their enthusiasm for movies waned in the subsequent years because of their hectic schedules. The family nights at the theatre stopped. Then one day in late May 1977, my dad came into my room and asked if I wanted to see a movie with him. I said sure. We went to our small local theatre, took our seats, and settled in for the film that was all the rage. We were hoping that the hype would be a reality. We were hooked the moment the title splashed onto the screen, STAR WARS, then the opening crawl. The creative flame was fanned."
-- Cliff Cramp, Professor of Art, Illustration and Area Coordinator
