During production of Terminator 2: Judgment Day–now celebrating its 35th anniversary–the ILM CG crew shot plate reference photography on location with director James Cameron and the live action team. CG shot supervisor Lincoln Hu generously shared these images from his personal archives, which he snapped while some of T2's most iconic moments were being filmed. It was up to Lincoln and his ILM colleagues to bring the digital T-1000 character to life within these live action shots. Among the ILM team were visual effects supervisor Dennis Muren, assistant visual effects supervisor Mark Dippé, and CG animation supervisor Steve Williams, seen here alongside Hu in an early "selfie" shot in the reflection of their chrome sphere.
